Women in science
Celebrate Lundbeck's Women in Science with us
At Lundbeck, we’re proud to celebrate the incredible women in science shaping the future – no matter if it’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11 February each year) or any other day of the year.
At Lundbeck, we are proud to celebrate the women in science who are shaping the future of brain research. Our purpose — advancing brain health to transform the lives of people living with brain diseases — can only be achieved through diverse perspectives, inclusive collaboration, and equal opportunities. Women play a critical role in driving neuroscience innovation, and we are committed to fostering a workplace where everyone can thrive.
In the video below, you’ll meet some of the inspiring women at Lundbeck who share their passion for science and their views on diversity, inclusion, and equality in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).
