Anna Sannö is a Research Strategy Manager at Volvo Construction Equipment (CE) in Sweden. In addition to her technical role, Anna works within Volvo and the Vera program, a series of innovation workshops dedicated to encourage girls to explore careers in technology and engineering. The Vera program is named after Sweden's first female engineer, Vera Sandberg.Anna holds a PhD in Innovation and Design and a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering. She is also a senior lecturer at Örebro University.Episode NotesAnna shares Volvo CE's Vera program and its goal of encouraging girls to continue their interest in engineering and technology which has a tendency to decrease around middle school. She discusses what she does at her job as a Research Strategy Manager and what got her interested in engineering.We dive into a discussion about why girls' interest in technology and engineering seems to decrease in middle school and the importance to bringing women in STEM fields into our daily lives.Music used in the podcast: Higher Up, Silverman Sound StudioAcronyms, Definitions, and Fact CheckVolve CE Vera Program - https://www.volvoce.com/global/en/news-and-events/press-releases/2021/innovation-has-no-gender-volvo-ce-inspiring-tomorrows-female-engineers/I was unable to find a study about the long term effects of same sex education.

68. Anna Sannö - PhD, Innovation & Design; Bachelor's in Chemical Engineering

Research  reveals it is at the age of 10 that girls move from being excited to put their ideas forward on the subjects of science and technology to being more interested in being ‘likeable and pretty’. Organizations and schools in Sweden are joining forces to try to reverse this trend. Through a series of workshops, Volvo Construction Equipment together with Mälardalen University and researcher Ulrika Sultan are challenging girls to come up with technological solutions to some real-life societal problems – such as how to make recycling fun – in order not to only make them more confident in their engineering capabilities but show how engineering can make the world more sustainable. Press Release: https://www.volvoce.com/global/en/news-and-events/press-releases/2021/innovation-has-no-gender-volvo-ce-inspiring-tomorrows-female-engineers/Anna Sannö is Research Strategy Manager in the Advanced Engineering department of Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE), where she specializes in collaborating with partner organizations with a focus on sustainable development. She also holds an Industrial PhD in Innovation and Product Realization from Mälardalen University and a BSc in Chemical Engineering from Chalmers Technical University.
