International Day of Women and Girls in Science

11F: Dia Internacional de la Dona i la Nena a la Ciència

El Dia Internacional de la Dona i la Nena a la Ciència, proclamat per les Nacions Unides, se celebra cada 11 de febrer per reconèixer el paper fonamental de les dones en la recerca científica i tecnològica i per promoure la participació plena i equitativa de dones i nenes en els àmbits STEAM (Ciència, Tecnologia, Enginyeria, Arts i Matemàtiques).

Amb motiu d’aquesta jornada, la Universitat de Girona dona visibilitat a les investigadores de la seva comunitat universitària posant en relleu la seva contribució a la recerca STEAM i fomentant vocacions científiques i tecnològiques entre les noves generacions.

A través d’aquest compromís, la universitat reafirma el seu suport a la igualtat de gènere en la recerca, ajuda a empoderar les dones per trobar l'equitat entre home/dona en l'àmbit de la recerca.
