At BCAM we continue to work on the Gender Equality Plan in order to offer equal opportunities for the team of the centre.
We encourage you to engage in BCAM efforts to increase the presence of women in our activities. Be active in promoting women's presence whenever you organize an event or invite a researcher!

BCAM video on the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science
BCAM celebrates the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with this video

We talked to Dr. Maíra Aguiar, (Group Leader of the Mathematical and Theoretical Biology Group and Ikerbasque and Ramón y Cajal Researcher) and Verónica Álvarez (Postdoctoral Researcher) about the challenges they have faced in their careers; about the women scientists who have inspired them; or about how they imagine a scientific world in which equal representation is real.


Interview

Judit Muñoz Matute, Postdoctoral Fellow at BCAM, selected to join the European Mathematical Society Young Academy 2024-2027 Committee

EMYA provides a platform for the next generation of mathematicians to discuss and plan the future of European mathematics, organize activities through the European Mathematical Society, and advise EMS on its actions and priorities.

Judit Muñoz Matute is a Postdoc Fellow in Mathematical Design, Modelling, and Simulations at the Basque Center for Applied Mathematics.
Emakumeak Zientzian 
This February the "Emakumeak Zientzian" initiative was back. This program seeks to make the activity of women in science visible, to break with the typically male roles attributed to scientific-technical activities, and to encourage the choice of scientific careers among girls and adolescents. To this end, it promotes, organizes, develops, presents, and executes a broad program of activities around February 11.

Every year, several entities representing the science and technology network of the Basque Country, such as BCAM, participate as organizers of the initiative.
Leire Garmendia in Emakumeak Zientzian 
Leire Garmendia, Research Technician in the Mathematical Design, Modeling, and Simulations line, opened the 2024 Emakumeak Zientzian program by leading ArtazaRomo BHI´s visit to BCAM.
Cristina Galán García in Emakumeak Zientzian 
Cristina Galán, PHD student at BCAM, explains her work on the Emakumeak Zientzian online platform.

Lore Zumeta visited the BHI Zunzunegui School with Emakumeak Zientzian  
Lore Zumeta visited the BHI Zunzunegui school to give a talk titled "For us to be healthy... how do we apply statistics?"

She explained her trajectory, what she has learned, and how she got her current work. She also explained what relationship statistics (biostatistics) has with health, how and where it is applied.
The scientists who inspired us (XI): Another brick in the wall (written by Pablo Merino, PhD Student at BCAM
History is written through the hegemony of great names and great legends, for reasons which, a priori, seem unperturbable within a social structure in which a vast quantity of unavoidable rules are as avoidable as the avoidable ones. I intend to present, in anonymous words and with anonymous people, a concise description and recognition of all those women that did also build their names and legends.

The DTIC – Engineering research award for women researchers in the field of information and communication technologies

The DTIC – Engineering research award for women researchers in the field of information and communication technologies (ICT) is an initiative of the Department of Information and Communication Technologies (DTIC) / School of Engineering of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, in the framework of the commemoration of its creation 25 years ago, and whose objective is to recognize and support the work of women scientists working in Spain in the research areas of the department.

Terms and conditions of the call for applications
II Gender and Science Communication
 

Gender and Science Communication is an event focused on reflecting on how and how to improve the gender perspective in this type of communication. If you want to expand your skills to communicate science with a gender perspective and you are interested in learning about other experiences of inclusive communication and sharing yours, this is your space. The second edition of Gender and Science Communication will be held on Tuesday, June 4, 2024, at Torre Iberdrola in Bilbao (morning and afternoon).

Mujeres con Ciencia
The blog Mujeres con Ciencia of the Chair of Scientific Culture of the University of the Basque Country has received the Zirgari Saria Equality Project Award 2024.
 
Mujeres con Ciencia is a project coordinated by Marta Macho-Stadler, PhD in Mathematics and professor at the UPV/EHU, and this year marks a decade since its launch. Throughout this time the blog has published, uninterruptedly, an article and one or several events a day related to the contribution of women to the scientific field, in addition to interviews or references to initiatives or exhibitions dealing with the same subject. This work has served to highlight the work of women in science, combat stereotypes and provide role models in the scientific field.
 
By 2023 almost 11,870,000 people have visited the blog which shows that Mujeres con Ciencia has established itself as a reference project in continuous growth.
