CIC energiGUNE, the Basque research center of reference in electrochemical energy storage, thermal energy storage and conversion and hydrogen technologies, will celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with a playful-scientific fair aimed at children between 12 and 16 years old, which will take place on February 16 at the Salburua Civic Center in Vitoria-Gasteiz and in which a large representation of its professional staff will carry out the dynamization work. The initiative is part of the "Emakumeak Zientzian" program, in which CIC energiGUNE participates together with the main research agents and entities in the Basque Country with the aim of promoting and making visible the role of women in science.

Under the title "Women in Science 2024", the fair promoted by CIC energiGUNE includes several workshops related to scientific projects, as well as theater and audiovisual performances. The aim is to raise awareness of the role that women have been playing in science and technology since its very origins and to have the opportunity to meet live women scientists who, from Vitoria-Gasteiz, contribute every day to understand the world around us.

CIC energiGUNE reminds that the program is primarily aimed at youngsters between 12 and 16 years old with an interest in science, technology, engineering or mathematics, "who are willing to spend a fun afternoon participating in various activities, meet scientists and ask any questions they may have".
