“Women Who Move Mountains” webinar to mark International Women’s Day 2026
The WOMEN’S MENTORING CA 21104 initiative is hosting an online event for International Women’s Day 2026: “Women Who Move Mountains: Celebrating Outstanding Outcomes in Sustainable Hydropower.” The session is open to all COST Action members and will bring the network together to reflect on gender equality in hydropower, while spotlighting women whose work is shaping the sector.
This will be moderated by Barbara Fischer-Aupperle who will lead the discussion, invite audience questions, and keep the focus on what really helps careers move forward: opportunities, barriers, decision points, and the support that makes a difference.
