In order to achieve full and equal access and participation in science for women and girls, the General Assembly of the United Nations decided in 2016 to proclaim February 11 as the International Day of Women and Girls in the Science.
On February 8th and 9th 2018, CIC biomaGUNE, Centro de Física de Materiales (CFM, CSIC-UPV/EHU), CIC nanoGUNE and Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC) commemorate this day celebrating a series of events that aim to make visible the activity of women in science, break with the typically male roles attributed to scientific-technical activities and encourage the choice of scientific careers among girls and adolescents.
