Foundation Alma Dal Co (FAD)
The Foundation Alma Dal Co (FAD) supports early and mid-career researchers, fosters connections among young researchers and with established scientists, and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration through scientific meetings, lectures, awards and networking programs. Actively advocating for inclusion, diversity, and gender equality, the Foundation wishes to support women at the critical stage in their careers where they transition from being postdocs to being PIs, often at a time in their life when they also consider starting a family. Founded in 2023 in memory of Alma Dal Co, biological physicist and professional piano player, the Foundation aims to inspire girls and women who start the exciting yet perilous adventure to build a career at the interface between the life sciences and quantitative sciences. FAD"s next event is the Alma Dal Co School on collective behavior (Venice 2025) (), harnessing a diversity of disciplines and approaches in the spirit of Alma"s passion for knowledge and innovation.
