11 March 2026  |  In this episode, Nina Ferara talks with Victor Arribas, Stream Leader for Diversity and Transformation at the EPO's Observatory on Patents and Technology  and Marc Nevant, Chair of epi's DEI Committee, about the report “Advancing Women in STEM", recently published by the EPO.

They discuss the participation of women in science, innovation and the patent system, including the role of women inventors, researchers and European patent attorneys. The conversation explores key findings of the report, looks at geographic and technological differences across Europe, the representation of women in leadership roles within the IP ecosystem, and possible measures to encourage greater participation of women in innovation and the patent profession.
