Sapienza appointed students Aurora Maisano and Livia Pieri as members of the committee.

Among other tasks, the committee will also deal with gender policies, promoting specific actions and projects iǹ orientation activities and in liaison with secondary schools: the aim is to deconstruct gender stereotypes and horizontal gender segregation, which often lead female students to choose faculties and degree courses deemed more "appropriate" to the female gender role, rather than disciplinary fields traditionally considered purely male and largely included in the acronym STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics). The committee will also strengthen the positive projects already undertaken in Sapienza on gender identity, such as, for example, the activation in 2018 of the alias career for trans*, non-binary and gender non-conforming students, and the services and programmes of prevention and intervention against homobitransphobia and discrimination related to gender and sexual orientation.
