The UAB to award Dr Ingrid E. Lundberg an honorary doctorate

Lundberg is one of the protagonists of the exhibition "The Honorary Doctors of the UAB", an initiative that makes visible and pays tribute to the 18 women who have received this recognition from the UAB. The exhibition highlights their scientific and academic careers, as well as their contribution in the fields of research and teaching.

The exhibition can be visited in several UAB libraries, including the Humanities, the Teaching Units of Medicine, Sabadell, Social Sciences and Communication. It also offers a virtual version with biographical and bibliographical information on each of the honorary doctorates, which allows wider access to their legacy.

This initiative is part of the celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
