(ANSA) – ROME, JAN 21 – Scholarships for a total of 500 million are intended for girls who choose the Stem disciplines (science, technology, engineering and mathematics): this is what the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (Pnrr) provides. said the Minister of University and Research, Maria Cristina Messa, speaking at the annual conference of the Women and Science Association.
“There is a great effort to encourage and sensitize girls to Stem courses because they are the ones for which the market asks for more skills. This year, from an initial analysis of registrations, where we see an overall reduction of 3-4%, we have interesting data in Stem subjects, with an increase in the enrollment of girls to some subjects by up to 12% “, the minister noted. “To increase this effect – he added – we have foreseen in the extent of the PNRR scholarships, where there are 500 million euros, an increase in the size of the scholarship that benefits girls who want to choose Stem degrees and all, girls and boys, off-site “.
