Girls' Day 27 April 2023
Following a series of inspiring encounters with the work of our patent examiners, young professionals and European Inventor Award finalists, a highly successful Girl's Day at the European Patent Office (EPO) concluded with a lively tour of the works from the EPO art collection in PschorrHöfe 8 (Hackerbrücke, Munich). Around 100 girls aged 11 to 14 from several of the city's schools were captivated by the diversity of art and innovation on display, one of several highlights in a full programme designed to spark curiosity in careers in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering & Math) subjects and sustainability. A selection of highlights can be seen below.
