Today, as every year on 11 February, we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This year, we have asked scientists and engineers of the X-IFU Consortium to prepare short texts about their careers, work, and passions, as well as their advice for girls wanting to follow their path. They will be published on the X-IFU\u2019s social media channels (Twitter<\/a> and Facebook<\/a>) from 11 to 19 February.<\/p>\n

With the publication of these accounts, we strive to show the vital role played by the women of the X-IFU Consortium and the diversity of their experiences.<\/p>\n

Some context<\/h4>\n

This day was established by the United Nations General Assembly to recognise the critical role women and girls play in science and technology.<\/p>\n

It is an important occasion to be reminded that, as written on the United Nations website:<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to UNESCO data<\/a> (2014 – 2016), only around 30 per cent of all female students select STEM-related fields in higher education.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
