The CSIC Delegation in Catalunya wants to contribute to the promotion of scientific vocations in young girls, and facilitate the contact between them and the scientists from the nearby research centers. For this reason, an educational action in the framework of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11 February) is organized, consisting on school visits by some CSIC researchers, who will explain their research projects and their life as a scientist to primary school students.

Arántzazu González, Ramon y Cajal researcher at ICMAB and participant of the program “A Researcher in your classroom” was at two primary schools in November, in the framework of the “Science Week” to show the students what is a scientist and what type of research we do at the ICMAB.
