The Hungarian Consulate General in New York cordially invites you for the event "Women on Difficult Path"
About this event
Our goal is to encourage young women to engage in science or business. With the examples of successful Hungarian female scientists and entrepreneurs, we would like to show examples that can inspire young people to pursue a scientific or entrepreneurial career. Three moderated panel discussions are planned, one focusing on science, the other on business, and the third on the youngest generation, when Hungarian students at various US universities will speak about their experiences. After the panel discussions, Hungarian food and wine will be available during the networking event.
Please note that this event will host an indoor stage for which all attendees 12 years of age and older must provide proof of at least one dose of a World Health Organization-approved COVID -19 vaccine.
Please RSVP here.
