A dive into the world of chemistry

illimitHER is the Diversity & Inclusion program of illimity to enhance the potential of young women. The programme is the result of the digital innovation approach being taken by STEMintheCity, the initiative fostered by the Milan Municipality to spread the STEM culture and do away with the cultural stereotypes that encourage girls not to study technical and scientific subjects.

Beyond traditional role models

We provide access for inspiring people: women who have managed to go beyond, helping to remodel the future through their own professional and personal achievements. We provide a forum for men who support gender equality. But most importantly, we give young women under 35 a voice. To connect them with other young women who are ready to enter the worlds of work and higher education. To share digital skills and professional experiences from a unique perspective: generational proximity.

Beyond stereotypes
in search of potential

A programme rich in innovation and designed to inspire. To forge the skills needed to prepare a new generation of women for the world of work and digital transformation. By breaking down stereotypes and forcefully including their talent, contributions and vision.

Beyond barriers

An open ecosystem of partnerships with associations that are committed to training new generations and diversity & inclusion. To give illimiters the chance to be part of networks. To open up such opportunities to deserving young people through the "suspended fees" project.

illimitHER. Her Potential, Our Support.
