Join us on Tuesday, March 7th, at the ICN2 Seminar room, to celebrate International Women's Day, wich is to be officially celebrated the day after the ICn2 event. This Day is an occasion to celebrate women's social, economic, cultural, and political accomplishments. In the research field, women have made significant contributions to scientific knowledge and breakthroughs, yet they remain underrepresented in many areas. Achieving gender equality in research is crucial for scientific excellence and innovation, making ICN2 committed to promoting equal opportunities and supporting female researchers' career development. This special event will recognize and honor the outstanding achievements of the Women Talent 2022 Awardees.
