This year, the calendar of activities by which the IAC is participating in the International Day of Women and Girls in Science and International Women’s Day stretches from the end of January until March, and includes lectures and workshops, both live and virtual, in educational centres as well as initiatives aimed at the general public. 

February 11th will see the start of the project “Talk to them: Women in Astronomy” which will consist in the production of videoconferences with schools by women astrophysicists and engineers of the IAC who will explain their work, talk about their fields of research, and answer questions from the students and scientific and technological careers, and about the Universe, and the methods which are used to get to know it better. The activity is aimed at Spanish educational centres and is coordinated by the astrophysicist and science communicator of the Severo Ochoa program at the IAC, Nayra Rodríguez Eugenio. >> Read more
