Today, Saturday 11th February, we’re celebrating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Introduced by the UN in December 2015, this is the second year it is done. This International Day recognizes the critical role women and girls play in science and technology communities, and aims to promote events that support and promote the access of women and girls and their participation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, training and research activities at all levels.
Internationally, but particularly in Spain, plenty of activities, talks and events at all levels (schools, universities, science museums, research centers) have been organized during this week and the following aiming to support all women working in science and provide key models for girls to be identified with.
From SRAP-IEAP, we strongly support the International Day of Women and Girls in Science and also join to these activities releasing two short videos of two of women researchers in our Association: Dra. Marina Trigueros y Dra. Ana Rubio.

We aim to organize something more soon, and definitively be ready for all the #WomeninSTEM and #WomenInScience activities.
