The World Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated every February 11, since it was proclaimed in 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly. This day calls for a real change in the situation of women in the world of science, in all aspects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Areas such as research are not exempt from gender inequality: only 19% of research projects with Catalan participation and funding from the European Research Council are led by women researchers integrated into the Catalan knowledge system, according to the latest report prepared by the Agency for the Management of University and Research Grants (AGAUR). with data from November 2020.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is not a unique situation in our territory, the European average is only slightly higher than the Catalan average, with 23% of women leading research projects. These facts make it essential to continue moving forward with the implementation of equality policies and with the idea of showing younger girls that science and research can also be a space for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another fact to highlight is the famous glass ceiling that the world of health suffers. And the fact is that, although globally 80% of professionals in this field are women, they only occupy 20% of the positions where decisions are made.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women make up less than 50% of enrolments in so-called STEM or scientific careers. That is why it is very important to revendicate female talent and motivate future generations to train in specializations of this type.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the discovery that a professional in this field dreams of making? We have asked some of the women scientists who are part of the IISPV team these questions, and we have collected them in different posts published on social networks. It is a tribute to their dedication, perseverance, and commitment to science, following the celebration, on February 11, of the World Day of Women and Girls in Science. Here are some of the statements made by the women scientists of the IISPV:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
