International Day of Women and Girls in Science
To commemorate February 11, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, our Institute lanched several initiatives to give visibility to women scientists and inspire young girls to pursue scientific careers.

Firstly, we carried out an Instagram campaign highlighting various female researchers from our Institute. This initiative aimed to showcase their work and raise awareness of both their contributions and the research they lead.
Then, Dr. Gemma Comes Orpinell gave a talk to 4th grade students at Escola Bellaterra. She explained the significance of February 11 and why it is commemorated, while also introduced the students to the fascinating world of neuroscience.
Through these activities, we aimed to promote equal opportunities and highlight the essential role of women in neuroscience.
