Conceived by the British Council and the Museum of Tomorrow and running since 2019, more than 500 researchers from across the country have already participated in the program.

Its objective is to strengthen the capabilities of Brazilian female researchers in higher education and graduate programs in the areas of innovation, entrepreneurship, gender, and science, increasing their opportunities for career development at university and in the job market. It also aims to encourage the formation of a collaborative network among researchers, prioritizing collective growth.

To this end, the program offers lectures and workshops on topics related to entrepreneurship, innovation, leadership, self-confidence, gender, science, fundraising and issues related to women in science. There will be 6 synchronous and online meetings, which will take place on a virtual platform, on Saturdays, from 9 am to 1 pm, generating a workload of 24 hours, on October 4th, 11th, 18th and 25th and November 1st and 8th, 2025.
