Closing the gender gap in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) remains a significant challenge, as women continue to be underrepresented in these fields. The Matilda Chair is working to drive progress toward equity through solidarity and support networks. Founded in 2020, the initiative consists of a group of individuals—90% women and 10% men—from 18 countries, including Colombia, Argentina, Mexico, and Chile.

Rafael Reif, former president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), explained that the workforce will expand by 100,000% in the coming years, at least in the U.S., but workers will need tech skills to keep up. Born in Venezuela, Reif earned his Electrical Engineering degree from the Universidad de Carabobo and later obtained a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University.

In Western culture, when we read about love, we usually associate it with romantic relationships. Still, another bond seems to have the same—or even more—benefits: friendship.

In recent years, our progress towards gender equality has been notable. However, in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), women still represented only 28% of the workforce in 2023. Therefore, our efforts to increase women’s participation in these careers must be strengthened and continued.

However, most universities cannot teach them how to deal with an increasingly complex world. “Universities have evolved under the selective pressure and constraints of local nations and powers,” said Francois Taddei, founder of the Learning Planet Institute.
