Press Release March. 2022 - Sea Tech Week® 2022: Focus on Women in Science
For over 20 years, Sea Tech Week® has been attracting a thousand people to Brest every two years. Participants come from within France and beyond to explore a major maritime theme. Organised by Campus mondial de la mer, the 13th iteration will run from 26 to 30 September this year, with India as featured country. The theme is ‘Maritime transport, towards smarter & greener solutions’, with a particular focus on the role women play in marine science and technology.
We spoke to two experts who are associated with Sea Tech Week® and passionate about their work. Neither woman has pursued a ‘conventional’ career path.
