Empowering Young Female Scientists
To counteract the existing gender-based underrepresentation in STEM fields (STEM = Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), ARTORG and the Center for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (CAIM) plan to support two young female STEM graduates with a full-time scholarship for a two-year master’s program.
By specifically encouraging careers in STEM fields, this structural issue is being addressed. Greater female representation enables high-performing research in young and diverse teams. Additionally, this creates future role models for young women interested in the natural sciences.
Building Bridges Between Research and Clinical Practice
The ARTORG Center for Biomedical Engineering Research at the University of Bern is a multidisciplinary center of excellence for medical technology. ARTORG has a strong clinical and translational focus and covers the entire spectrum from exploring potential innovations to their clinical implementation.
CAIM is a research, teaching, and translation platform for medical technology. CAIM explores the potential of artificial intelligence to improve patient care and facilitate the work of physicians and nurses.
