“We’re looking for very innovative Italian female scientists in North America, we know they are out there, they are brilliant and hard-working, but their exposure seems to be lower than their male colleagues;” said Bridges to Italy Founder Bianca Dellepiane.
“Structuring the Premio Award nomination as a combination of the vote from expert judges and the popular online vote is a strategy to give these women scientists the highest level of visibility by widening the appeal and level of excitement of an otherwise <<technical set of subjects>>, even though most Bridges to Italy members belong to the scientific/technology world anyway."
