Doc. dr. Kristina Žagar Soderžnik, znanstvena sodelavka na Odseku za nanostrukturne materiale na IJS je v marcu 2023 nastopila funkcijo predsednice Komisije za enake možnosti na področju znanosti v mandatnem obdobju 2023–2026. Komisija je strokovno telo Ministrstva za visoko šolstvo, znanost in inovacije s pomembno nalogo odpravljanja vseh oblik neenakosti v znanosti in podpiranja uravnotežene zastopanosti vseh ne glede na spol in druge osebne okoliščine. Doc. dr. Kristina Žagar Soderžnik, ki aktivno sodeluje tudi v projektu Znanost na cesti, izpostavlja pomembnost vključujoče in enakopravne znanosti:
»Kot raziskovalka mlajše generacije sem seznanjena s problematiko mladih v znanosti, žensk, kot tudi moških ter mladih staršev. Iz lastnih izkušenj in izobraževanj na domačih in tujih univerzah se zavedam, kako pomemben je dialog in vzpostavljanje novih norm na področju znanosti za mlade in znanstvenice ter znanstvenike na začetku raziskovalnih poti. Kot vodja raziskovalne skupine sem seznanjena z mnogo ovirami in pastmi, ki doletijo ne le domače, kot tudi tuje znanstvenice in znanstvenike, ki se želijo zaposliti in uveljaviti na slovenskih ustanovah. Zaradi tega se aktivno zavzemam za enake možnosti vseh v znanosti, ne glede na spol, raso, starost, položaj. Upam, da bomo v komisiji v naslednjih štirih letih pripomogli k spremembam za boljšo prihodnost znanstvenic in znanstvenikov. Menim, da če si želimo sprememb, moramo o tem tudi govoriti in biti vidni. Vloga predsedujoče komisiji je ena od možnih poti biti viden in slišan.«
Kolegici čestitamo in ji želimo veliko uspehov!

The finite-element method in physics and materials science
Asst. Prof. Matej Andrej Komelj, Jožef Stafan Institute
PASSENGER proposes improved strontium ferrite (Sr-ferrite) and a Manganese-Aluminum-Carbon (MnAlC) alloy as a substitute to guarantee a sustainable production of permanent magnets in Europe: an alternative without critical raw elements, based on resources that are widely available in Europe, with enough research to provide a solid base for a successful transition from the lab to the industrial production in our Pilot Plants. The project mission is to contribute to a green, sustainable Europe by developing an alternative to raw materials in the construction of permanent magnets and testing their performance in the electromobility sector. The project started in 2021 and will be finished in 2025. Currently the project is in the phase of fabrication if innovative materials for permanent magnets.
