On the occasion of the Artemis Mission which will bring man back to the Moon in 2024, the CTNA in collaboration with ASI, the Lazio and Piedmont regions, Leonardo and Thales Alenia Space launches the ” Space Dream ” competition aimed at primary and secondary school students of first degree. The objective is to stimulate young people’s interest in space issues to promote knowledge, particularly encouraging girls, to make them passionate about scientific subjects and make a significant contribution towards gender equality and in space professions. In recent years, according to OECD data only 36% of researchers in STEM subjects are women, while as regards the aerospace industry the percentage drops to 20% according to UNOOSA research. The program is an invitation to greater inclusiveness of the female world in scientific subjects.
