To mark International Day of Women and Girls in Science, Inria is honoring women scientists through a collection of articles entitled "Elles font le numérique" (Women in Digital). Launched less than a year ago, this series of ten profiles reveals the inspiring careers and research work of women scientists who bring prestige to Inria through the excellence of their research and their commitment.

This collection was created at the Inria Centres at the University of Bordeaux and Saclay. Soon, all centres will add to this collection with new portraits, which will always be available on inria.fr.

A strong commitment to professional equality

Beyond these portraits, Inria affirms its concrete commitment to gender parity. Its proactive policy is reflected in targeted actions: career support, work-life balance, combating stereotypes, etc. 


Here are some of the results of its equality policy.
