BCMaterials presents its activity for the Week of Women and Girls in Science

BCMaterials celebrates, one more year, the Week of Women and Girls in Science. On February 11 and 12, we will carry out visits to our facilities by students from our region’s schools. The young students, especially women, will learn about the work of BCMaterials female researchers in new materials science. This activity focuses in three main goals: to help make the work of scientists visible, to awaken vocations in young students and to banish stereotypes about the capabilities of women in the field of science and technology.
These visits are part of the program of the ‘Emakumeak Zientzian’ (‘Women in Science’, in Basque) initiative, of which BCMaterials is a very active part. In fact, the center is one of the coordinating entities of this group, made up of universities, research centers, companies from the Basque Country, as well as other types of supporting Basque and Spanish public organizations and institutions. The Emakumeak Zientzian programme brings together all the activities of the participating entities from 7 to 14 February. There will be more than 60 events and they will take place in the three Basque regions: Álava, Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia. Conferences, round tables, exhibitions, visits, film series, theatre, escape rooms...
The whole programme is available on the Emakumeak Zientzian website https://emakumeakzientzian.eus/es/programa-2025/
To participate in these events, it is necessary to register in advance. Registration is completely free and subject to full capacity.
In addition to its own activity, BCMaterials will also be present at one of the main events of Emakumeak Zientzian, such as the series of talks 'Women scientists of yesterday and today'. MSCA postdoctoral researcher Maibelín Rosales will give one of the talks that will take place in Bilbao on February 13th starting at 6:00 p.m. in the Ensanche Building.
