The lost Marie Curies

LSE: Public lectures and events

Contributor(s): Professor Xavier Jaravel | Innovation is increasingly monopolised by a small entrepreneurial elite that is not representative of the population at all. To simultaneously increase our innovation potential and reduce inequality, it is urgent to involve everyone, especially women and people of underprivileged backgrounds, in the innovation process, from the creation of technologies to their widespread dissemination. What do we know and what should we do to find the “Lost Marie Curies” and “Lost Einsteins” and give them their chance? Join us for Xavier Jaravel's inaugural lecture to find out the answers to these questions.Featured image (used in source code with watermark added): Photo by Unknown Author via Wikimedia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marie-Curie.jpg
