On November 14, the fourth edition of degree thesis award for the female “Ingenio” took place in the Conference Room of the General Command of the Port Authorities – Coast Guard in Rome, in which Solesi Spa participated and contributed as Ambassador and evaluator of the candidates for the year 2024.
This award, born from the initiative of the National Council of Engineers, is part of a broader project that aims to support and enhance female figures in the scientific sector and in the engineering sector, in line with Objective 5, Gender Equality, of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations.
The theme chosen for the fourth edition of the Award was “The 5.0 paradigm and the strategic role of Engineering”.
The 5.0 paradigm of economic development (at the basis of the European Commission report “Industry 5.0 – Towards a sustainable, humancentric and resilient European industry”) is based on the now generally acquired awareness that an approach oriented exclusively towards profit is no longer viable but must be inspired by three fundamental concepts: centrality of the person; resilience; sustainability.
The winners of the award were selected from approximately 200 candidates, Italian graduates in engineering (both bachelor’s and master’s degrees) or recent research doctors.
The growing participation of female engineers in the competition represents significant progress. Their presence demonstrates the value of female skills and innovative ideas that are starting to shape this sector, traditionally dominated by men.
This edition of the award was not only an opportunity to recognize merit, but also wanted to underline the importance of creating a safe working environment, free from violence and discrimination and for this reason a special award was established dedicated to the memory of Giulia Cecchettin and intended for theses in biomedical engineering. Solesi Spa is actively committed to supporting initiatives that aim to emancipate and enhance women and to help build a more equitable and inclusive professional future. Participation in the “Ingenio al Femminile” award represents, for the company, not only a moment of celebration, but a declaration of intent towards overcoming gender barriers and promoting cultural change, stimulating an inclusive and diverse working environment.

The winners of the Award:

Ambassador companies:

Rewarding talented young girls graduates not only celebrates their commitment and success, but at the same time gives them the opportunity to excel within an increasingly inclusive and equitable working environment.

An ideal that Paolo Augliera, Sole Director of Solesi S.p.A., has always supported.

To further strengthen this commitment this year Solesi S.p.A. also wanted to contribute by supporting the “Ingenio al femminile” project, promoted by the National Council of Engineers and aimed at enhancing female talents and professionalism in engineering.
The project also represents a concrete institutional response to one of the objectives set by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations Organization. This concerns, in particular, Goal 5: Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls.
Our participation in the female Ingenio Award is intended as a warning to young women who are about to embark on a university career in STEM subjects, i.e. Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, to collaborate to the breaking down of stereotypes and beliefs.

Every individual, whether man or woman, must be free to study and make their own contribution to society. We want to give value to skills. Establish new relationships and acquaintances with young students, fresh minds with dynamic visions who have distinguished themselves brilliantly in their studies.
Solesi S.p.A. is convinced that female strength represents a driving factor in every activity and especially in the construction sector, where the male figure continues to be more pronounced. Day after day, we realize how fundamental the figure of a female technician is: it is no coincidence that 35% of coordination and management roles in Solesi S.p.A. are occupied by women and, on construction sites, they carry out important roles in the HSE-Q Department.
We continue to work every day imagining ourselves as a structure in which everyone does their part. Men may be the pillars and women the beams, but we will be important to each other, all necessary so that the structure, in its entirety, continues to be solid and resistant to stress.

The deadline for submitting applications for young female engineers and PhDs is open until 12:00 on 22 July 2024. Visit the reference website for more details.
