The IES Selgas has dedicated some words in its magazine to the talks given by members of our Research Group, Irma Martínez and Eduardo Menéndez, as part of the XXIV Science and Innovation Week of the University of Oviedo, held in November.
During this initiative, Irma Martínez delivered the talk titled “Female leadership in business: A 2030 challenge”, addressing key topics such as the underrepresentation of women in decision-making positions, the glass ceiling, and the influence of gender stereotypes in the business sector. With an engaging and participatory approach, she encouraged students to reflect on the importance of advancing toward greater gender equality within the framework of the 2030 Agenda.
Meanwhile, Eduardo Menéndez presented the talk “My finances: How to take care of them?”, focusing on financial education. Using accessible language, anecdotes, and practical examples, he highlighted the importance of properly managing concepts such as profitability, liquidity, and risk, fostering greater awareness among students about making responsible financial decisions.
We would like to thank the IES Selgas and teachers Julia Garrido Medina and María del Pilar García for their warm reception and for facilitating this event. We look forward to collaborating again in future editions of this initiative, reinforcing our commitment to scientific dissemination.
