February 11: International Women in Science Day
Science and gender equality are vital for sustainable development, which will be based on harnessing all talents, including women working in the scientific fields. Diversity in research expands the pool of talented researchers, bringing new perspectives, talent and creativity.
The International Day of Women in Science, celebrated annually on 11 February, was adopted by the United Nations General Assembly to promote full and equal access and participation in science for women and girls. The Day is a reminder that women play a critical role in the scientific and technological communities and that their participation should be strengthened. The celebration is led by UNESCO and UN-Women, in collaboration with institutions and civil society partners that promote women’s access and participation in science.
Contributing to this effort, as a small company contribution to the overall action, BIOCHEMIKI Analytical Laboratories are represented by women scientists in all areas of the laboratories’ activities.
