(Adnkronos) - "Sirm è stata la prima società scientifica a dotarsi di una commissione Diversità, equità e inclusione (Dei). Solo con un atteggiamento inclusivo si riduce la possibilità di perdere dei talenti. Nel campo Stem esiste una differenza di genere, un divario da abbattere. La Giornata internazionale delle donne e delle ragazze nella scienza ha proprio lo scopo di cercare dei sistemi per colmare il gender gap”. Così Stefania Montemezzi, coordinatrice commissione Dei (Diversità, Equità e Inclusione) della Società italiana di radiologia medica e interventistica intervenendo al convegno 'Sostenibilità in radiologia: ricerca, innovazione e responsabilità', promosso a Roma da Sirm.

00:00SIRM is the first scientific society that has a DEI commission, and DEI means diversity, equity and inclusion.
00:13The aim is to value all people, regardless of gender, regardless of sexual and political orientation, age, ethnicity, race and disability.
00:27By acting in an inclusive way, we reduce the possibility of losing talents.
00:32Today is the International Women's and Girls' Day in Science.
00:39At this level, there is already a problem of STEM disciplines.
00:44Boys dedicate themselves less to STEM disciplines than to other disciplines.
00:51In this field, there is a gender gap, because women dedicate themselves less to STEM disciplines than men.
01:04There is a need to fill this gap.
01:07The International Women's and Girls' Day in Science aims to act on systems to fill the gender gap.
01:21We need reference models and mentors.
01:27This is only possible if we value the scientists we have, the need for women to be pushed towards STEM disciplines,
01:40and that women can understand that they will have the same salary treatment once they graduate.
01:49Because in addition to the gender gap, there is also a salary gap between women and men.
01:55We have dedicated this day to sustainability in radiology, research, innovation and responsibility.
02:04Because it is very important.
02:06The technological evolution is always greater in radiology.
02:10We must combine this technological evolution with the efficiency and sustainability of processes,
02:16minimizing the environmental impact and guaranteeing the quality of the services offered to the patient.
02:24To do this, we must implement research and therefore we must enhance the funds for research,
02:32the funds given to the various institutions that deal with this.
02:38In fact, this morning there will be a round table dedicated to this topic.
02:43We must also create a working group that goes from radiology together with companies and institutions
02:56that must support us to achieve what we want, that is, a radiology of the future, green and sustainable.
