Christine Lagarde says ECB scholarship talk covered "women in underrepresented fields"

In a Nov. 6, 2026 post, Christine Lagarde, president of the European Central Bank, wrote about speaking with 30 recipients of the ECB Scholarship for Women. According to the post, they discussed professional choices, what the students have encountered in their studies, and prospects for women in subjects and sectors where female participation is low. The post also included a closing message to the group. It presents the encounter as a discussion with scholarship holders about women’s participation in areas where they are less represented.
