INTERNATIONAL DAY OF WOMEN AND GIRLS IN SCIENCE

In December 2015, an UNESCO resolution established February 11th as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science to recognize the critical role played by women and girls in science and technology. According to data from this international body, less than 30% of scientific researchers in the world are women, despite the fact that science and gender equality are fundamental.

In this Special Newsletter, you can find four projects lead by women researchers at CIMNE in different research topics: geomechanics, mechanical engineering, sustainable transport and safety in ro-ro ship environments.
