11F: International Day of Women and Girls in Science
Jan. 29, 2018
The United Nations General Assembly decided to proclaim 11 February as International Day of Women and Girls in Science with the aim of achieving full and equal access to science for girls and women. Within this framework, the platform 11FBalears (of which IFISC is part) organizes a program of activities to make visible the role of women in R+D+I and promote scientific vocations (STEM) among girls.
All activities are free of charge and require prior registration
Activities
FRIDAY, 9th of February at 18:00 THEATER- ROUND TABLE (Salón de actos, CaixaForum Palma)
18:00 PERFORMANCE: "De ciencia, estereotipos y cifras"
This short theatrical piece will be the introductory element of the table of experts. Through stage language we propose to reflect on the milestones and challenges of women in the scientific field. This performance will be starred by the following researchers from Platform 11FBalears: Andrea Campos (IMEDEA, CSIC-UIB) and Universidad de Alicante (UA); Marina Sanz Martín, Department of Global Change Research (IMEDEA CSIC-UIB); Emma Reyes, Coastal Radar Division (SOCIB); Xisco Notario, Data Center Division (SOCIB)
18:20 ROUND TABLE: "La investigación en Baleares es también cosa de mujeres".
This round table will address the issue of the visibility of women in science. In this event we will compare the experiences of the invited researchers with the data provided by the main reports and studies. We will get to know their opinions and encourage debate with those attending regarding the issues that are being tried to make this day visible: the promotion of scientific vocations (STEM) in girls, the elimination of the discourse of "male brilliance", the valorization of women in the History of Science, the glass ceiling, etc.... We will also analyze sexist and discriminatory behavior in the evaluating committees or in the publication system of specialized articles. In addition, we will discuss the tools and actions that research institutions and R+D+I funding agencies have put in place to improve the implementation of gender equality. Some questions we will try to answer are: Why is it still so difficult to break the glass ceiling in science? How do institutions work to increase the presence of women in science and technology?
