MARE will celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science
MARE will celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with 42 researchers and 293 students.
An important day: the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. MARE could not fail the celebration of this day, which is celebrated annually on February 11, to highlight the important role that women play in the production of scientific knowledge. It’s important to raise society's awareness of the importance of breaking down barriers imposed by gender inequality, namely in terms of access to education and career progression.
This important day - the International Day of Women and Girls in Science - will feature 42 researchers and 293 students of three Regional Research Units (URI): University of Coimbra|MAREFOZ; Polytechnic of Leiria|CETEMARES and University of Évora. The activity to be carried out will be the commonly known Speed Dating - brief and energetic conversations about the investigation.
Since the sea is an interdisciplinary research area, on this important day we took the opportunity to invite these scientists, from various research areas, and multiple R&D Centers to participate, associating ourselves with several entities.
