Event 04 February 2021
On 2 February 2021, the Embassy of Ireland to Belgium hosted a special St Brigid’s Day Webinar celebrating Irish and Belgian #VisibleWomen in science and medicine.
Dr Antonia Hart led an open and engaging panel discussion on Irish and Belgian women in science, medicine and leadership, both past and present, with particular focus on hidden narratives and lesser-known figures. The esteemed panel shared their personal experiences as women in varying fields of science and their thoughts on inclusion, accessibility and participation in the sciences.
The webinar was book-ended by performances of poetry by Jessica Traynor and original music commissioned for the event by singer-songwriter Katie Maye.
