We as a project team interviewed two women who have successful studying in STEM fields , Anna has come to our school and Rosa Maria who connects online from her Zurich office .
Anna tells us about her experience in the world of laboratory research work . She is a researcher in the field of biomedicine and has worked in several companies doing cancer research . In her field of research there are many women doing research work . Anna explains that she had the opportunity to rise to the position of coordinator or team leader , but just at that time she was pregnant and the company ruled her out as a candidate .
Rosa Maria also told us about her career , she is an industrial engineer and started working in small companies until she came to SIEMENS , in this company she is currently the head of an international work team . From Switzerland she manages other branches in different countries such as Italy , United Kingdom , Portugal , Bulgaria ,… In these countries she tells us that many women also work , but doing the most administrative work , she has no coordinating partner who is a woman .
