International Day of Women and Girls in Science

The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated every February 11, a date promoted by the United Nations to highlight the role of women in science and encourage STEM vocations among young girls.

On the occasion of this anniversary, the Science Museum of the University of Navarra organizes every year an informative day in collaboration with different institutions and research centers of the University. The aim is to bring the work of women scientists and professionals from different disciplines closer to the public, showing how their work contributes to the advancement of knowledge and the welfare of society.

The usual format includes round tables or meetings open to the public, in which female researchers, technicians, teachers and science professionals share their experiences, reflect on the challenges of their careers and discuss the social impact of science from a female perspective.
