Diversity In Research
We embrace a broad spectrum of research fields, ranging from technology, natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, business, to applied arts and design, as well as our learning-through-building App-Builder program, which offers two distinct mentored learning modes. Girls In Research is currently the fastest-growing, female-owned, ed-tech startup in girls' research education in the world. Having launched our first cohort in June 2024, we are now active with scholars in 28 different countries on 5 continents.
