Emakumeak Zientzian 2025

The "Emakumeak Zientzian" (Women in Science) initiative took its first steps in 2017 and year after year it has grown and strengthened. The General Assembly of the United Nations decided, in 2016, to proclaim February 11 as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science in order to achieve access and full and equal participation in science for women and the girls.

In this context, Women in Science emerged with specific objectives:

Make the activity of women in science visible, break with the typically masculine roles attributed to scientific-technical activities, and encourage the choice of scientific careers among girls and adolescents.

To this end, a broad program of activities around February 11 is promoted, organized, developed, presented and executed.

The Biofisika Institute is actively participating in the 9th edition of the Emakumeak Zientzian initiative, to be held this year, 2025, between February 7 and 14.

The activities that we have organized will take place in different places in the Basque Country with an important objective: to make visible the activity of women in science.

We encourage you to visit the 2025 Program and take part in the different proposed activities.
