International Women’s Day

ICFOnians celebrate and support this worldwide event

March 08, 2020

March 8th marks International Women’s Day and is celebrated in countries around the world. At ICFO, it is one of the “bookends” of our annual ICFOnians for Women in Science Month initiative which started on February 11th , International Day of Women and Girls in Science and ends on March 8th with International Women’s Day. This year, in addition to highlighting powerful female scientists, we have had informative talks and productive conversations that raise awareness of unconscious biases and micro-aggressions, with a clear focus on moving from awareness to action.

As we celebrate International Women’s Day, we know that our work continues. We also know that change is not just about institutional policies, but crucially about individual actions and commitments to supporting diversity. Our month-long initiative demonstrated that ICFOnians are individuals that are committed to increasing and supporting women in scientific careers, and ensuring diversity in science.
