FACULTY OF ENGINEERINGAda Byron award

Aiming at the internationalisation of the Award, the second year of the award outside Spain will be held in Mexico in 2021, organised by two universities of the Jesuit University System: Ibero Mexico and Ibero Puebla.

In this first year of the award, the award for Mexican women scientists and technologists received 166 applications from 23 Mexican states and 6 foreign countries. María Alicia de los Ángeles Guzmán Puente was the winner of the Award in Mexico. She excelled in the social application of her research, aware of the problems of local communities and showing solidarity in her search of solutions in disadvantaged backgrounds.

She stands out as one of the initiatives within the framework of the Ada Byron Technology Award, in which eight scholarships were awarded to study engineering at Ibero Puebla.

The first Ada Byron Award will also be presented in Colombia on 15 July 2021. It also aims to give more visibility to the work of women in the field of technology and reducing the gender gap in technology careers in the country. The aim of the University of Deusto, once again sponsored by Microsoft, has been to promote this internationalisation action.
