CIC energiGUNE, a leading Basque research center in electrochemical energy storage and conversion and thermal energy storage and conversion, will join the celebrations of 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 14 at the Salburua Civic Center in Vitoria-Gasteiz, from 18:00h to 20:00h. 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, as well as institutions and universities, with the aim of promoting and making visible the role of women in science.
The "Women in Science´25" Fair includes the realization of several workshops linked to scientific projects, which will have the active participation and dynamization of a representation of its research staff. There will also be several theatrical and audiovisual performances, all with the aim of raising awareness of the role that women have been playing in science and technology since its very origins. In this way, the participating children will be able to get to know live the women scientists who, from the Euskadi Technology Park in Vitoria-Gasteiz, contribute every day to understanding the world around us.
Participation in the fair is open to any boy or girl interested in science, technology, engineering or mathematics, but it is necessary to register in advance on the website of the initiative "Emakumeak Zientzian", through this link. For those registered, "Women in Science´25" promises "a fun afternoon participating in various activities, meeting women scientists and having the opportunity to ask them directly any questions or curiosity".
