The G20 Italy Women's Forum was born on the occasion of the first Italian Presidency of the G20 to promote dialogue between public and private international decision-making leaders and develop concrete proposals and solutions under the banner of "She-Covery" .
The recommendations elaborated through the interventions of international speakers and participants will be discussed at the G20 tables where, in addition to gender issues, the main opportunities for relaunching the country will be addressed to make women protagonists of the new global challenges: from inclusive technology, new jobs of the future, ethical and responsible finance to urgent issues such as climate change and access to health.

Diversity and equal opportunities have long been considered two strategic objectives for the University, as they are indispensable factors for the objectives of excellence in education, research and professional growth of students.
On Monday 18 October Rector Ferruccio Resta will participate in “ Educating in a disrupted world: the Champions who attract girls in STEM” , a panel that aims to deepen the gender gap that exists in the world of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and how to bridge it through school education and beyond.
Women's Forum G20 Italy is a project that, as underlined Chiara Corazza , Special Delegate for the G7 and G20 of the Women's Forum for the Economy and Society: "aims at guiding economic and social recovery with strength and determination, promoting new models of public and private leadership that leave no one behind and focus on diversity and She Covery to propose a paradigm shift in which women will be increasingly protagonists, together with men, in the restart of the country ".
