To mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on February 11, a World Café was held to discuss how to best accomplish its goals, with ideas ranging from growing the network and reaching out to joint hobby groups via mentoring, to diplomacy training.

Participants responded very well to the joint effort to come up with ideas supporting the network's growth and expansion. In the end, the general consensus was: "We should do more often!" In this regard, there is nothing standing in the way of FemMED's bright future!
