DESCRIPTION:\n	\n	 \n\n	\n		This workshop has been one of the most popula
 r events in the ICTP Scientific Calendar since its founding in 2013: a spa
 ce for women in physics to share experiences\, build international network
 s\, master the soft skills needed to bridge the gender gap and thrive in t
 heir global scientific careers.\n	\n		 \n	\n		Despite global progress\, w
 omen remain underrepresented in the physics community\, resulting not only
  in a loss of talent but also in challenging working environments for thos
 e pursuing careers in physics\, who may experience both social and profess
 ional isolation. This workshop is designed to address these challenges pro
 viding a dedicated and supportive space for women physicists to share expe
 riences and perspectives. It also aims to equip early-career female scient
 ists with essential soft skills that are critical for career advancement a
 nd that are often acquired informally through established networks\, from 
 which women may be excluded. Furthermore\, the workshop seeks to foster th
 e development of a global network of women physicists\, encouraging long-t
 erm collaboration\, mutual support\, and professional growth.\n	\n		 \n	\
