The mentors, who are professionals in scientific and technological fields, accompany students on the path of equal opportunities, respect and access to knowledge. The schools whose students receive mentoring from CIC biomaGUNE scientists are:
- Deutsche Schule San Alberto Magno, where 5th elementary grade students receive mentoring from the hand of Irantzu Llarena and Susana Carregal,
- Axular Lizeoa, where girls of 6th elementary grade students receive mentoring from Ane Ruiz de Angulo, and
- IES Hirubide, where girls from the 1st year of ESO receive mentoring from Dorleta Jiménez de Aberasturi and Idoia Mikelez.

INSPIRA is born from the need to promote scientific and technological vocations among Basque students and the urgency of doing it among girls. The number of students who opt for technology training decreases every year. And if we refer to the female collective, the data becomes even more acute. Despite the fact that 54.3% of the total number of students in the Spanish university system is female, their presence in technical degrees such as Engineering and Architecture drops to 26.4%.

INSPIRA is a project promoted by the Universidad de Deusto and Elhuyar Fundazioa, which has the collaboration of Innobasque and the support of  FECYT, the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology-Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness.

The keys of the project:
• Provide new references of nearby women technologists.
• For boys and girls to discover the STEAM professions.
• Raise awareness of the need for the development of the country to occur between men and women.
• Sensitize and guide on the career in technology.
• Make visible and value women technologists.
