Basque Country: Women at the forefront of science and technology

Publicada el enero 9, 2023enero 21, 2023 por BasqueScience

Twenty-four Basque entities join forces around the Emakumeak Zientzian project by signing a new collaboration agreement, thus ratifying their commitment to the initiative’s objectives: make women’s activity in science visible, break with typically male roles attributed to scientific-technical activities and encourage the choice of scientific careers among girls and adolescents. With these objectives in mind, the entities join forces to organize a joint program of activities on the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which is celebrated every year on February 11.

The 24 signatory entities of the agreement for the joint organization of the 7th edition of Emakumeak Zientzian are an important representative sample of the fabric of science and technology in the Basque Country: the Center for Materials Physics (CFM CSIC-UPV/EHU), ACHUCARRO BASQUE CENTER FOR NEUROSCIENCE, CIC biomaGUNE, CIC nanoGUNE, University of Deusto, POLYMAT, Basque Center for Climate Change (BC3), Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM), Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL), Biodonostia, Ceit, Cidetec, Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), Elhuyar, Eureka! Zientzia Museoa, Fundación Biofísica Bizkaia (FBB), Ikerlan, Ingeniariak – Official College of Industrial Engineers of Gipuzkoa, Technology Parks of Euskadi, Tecnalia, Tecnun-School of Engineering, the Faculty of Computer Science, the Gipuzkoa School of Engineering and the Faculty of Chemistry from the UPV/EHU.

This union is the result of an initiative -Emakumeak zientzian- of ‘open doors’ with a unifying vocation and which is clear that by adding together we are better. Thus, thanks largely to the involvement and dedication of dozens of professionals in the field of science and technology (researchers, university professors, engineers, etc.), the organizing entities are already working on the design of more than 50 activities so that the message that ‘science is really a girl’s thing’ reaches and permeates as many people as possible. The complete program will be announced on January 18 and it will be then when registrations will open. The countdown is already on!

It should be noted that during the past year, the Emakumeak Zientzian initiative has won the 1st STEAM Euskadi prize and the special mention for gender perspective in the category of Most Innovative STEAM Education Initiative promoted by other entities, granted by the Government Department of Education Vasco and Innobasque, as well as the recognition of the San Sebastián City Council through Fomento San Sebastián during the IX edition of Innovation Week.

Las mujeres vascas, en primera línea de la ciencia y la tecnología

El proyecto Emakumeak Zientzian une a 24 entidades vascas a través de la firma de un nuevo acuerdo de colaboración, ratificando de esta forma su compromiso con los objetivos de la iniciativa: hacer visible la actividad de las mujeres en ciencia, romper con los roles típicamente masculinos atribuidos a las actividades científico-técnicas y fomentar la elección de carreras científicas entre niñas y adolescentes. Con estos objetivos en mente, las entidades suman fuerzas para la organización de un programa de actividades conjunto con motivo del Día Internacional de la Mujer y la Niña en la Ciencia, que se celebra cada año el 11 de febrero.

Las veinticuatro entidades firmantes del acuerdo para la organización conjunta de la 7.ª edición de Emakumeak Zientzian son una muestra representativa importante del tejido de la ciencia y la tecnología en Euskadi: el Centro de Física de Materiales (CFM CSIC-UPV/EHU), ACHUCARRO BASQUE CENTER FOR NEUROSCIENCE, CIC biomaGUNE, CIC nanoGUNE, Universidad de Deusto, POLYMAT, Basque Centre for Climate Change (BC3), Basque Center for Applied Mathematics (BCAM), Basque Center on Cognition, Brain and Language (BCBL), Biodonostia, Ceit, Cidetec, Donostia International Physics Center (DIPC), Elhuyar, Eureka! Zientzia Museoa, Fundación Biofísica Bizkaia (FBB), Ikerlan, Ingeniariak –  Colegio Oficial de Ingenieros Industriales de Gipuzkoa, Parques Tecnológicos de Euskadi, Tecnalia, Tecnun-Escuela de Ingenieria, la Facultad de Informática, la Escuela de Ingeniería de Gipuzkoa y la Facultad de Química de la UPV/EHU.

Esta unión es el resultado de una iniciativa –Emakumeak zientzian- de ‘puertas abiertas’ con vocación aglutinadora y que tiene claro que sumando somos mejores. Así, gracias en gran medida a la implicación y dedicación de decenas de profesionales del ámbito de la ciencia y la tecnología (investigadoras/es, docentes de la universidad, ingenieras/os, etc.), las entidades organizadoras están ya trabajando en el diseño de más de 50 actividades para que el mensaje de que ‘la ciencia sí es cosa de chicas’ llegue y cale en el mayor número posible de personas. El programa completo se dará a conocer el próximo 18 de enero y será entonces cuando se abrirán las inscripciones. ¡Ya está en marcha la cuenta atrás!

Cabe destacar que durante el pasado año, la iniciativa Emakumeak Zientzian ha ganado el 1er premio STEAM Euskadi y la mención especial de perspectiva de género en la categoría de Iniciativa más innovadora de Educación STEAM promovida por otras entidades, concedidos por el Departamento de Educación del Gobierno Vasco e Innobasque, así como el reconocimiento del Ayuntamiento de San Sebastián a través de Fomento San Sebastián durante la IX edición de la Semana de la Innovación.
