Exhibition “Dones de ciència” [Women in science]

Exhibition provided by the Catalan Women’s Institute.

Recent studies on gender and science still reveal discrimination against women in scientific and technical research institutions, both public and private. If this happens in the 21st century, it is not difficult to imagine the situation that our predecessors experienced in a field such as science and technology that was totally hostile to them. The women to whom we pay tribute in this exhibition had to fight not only for themselves, but also to open the path of integration into the scientific world for other women, a path that still remains pending today in the construction of a new culture where we cannot forget the role that women play in the field of knowledge and new technologies.

The participation of women in the scientific and technological world is still clearly insufficient, a reality that is, in addition to being unfair, dangerous for science and the achievement of quality objectives in a knowledge society. It is time for women’s contributions to science and technology to be recognized, because if we don’t, the next generations of scientists and technicians will be treated unfairly, to the point of losing valuable women in all these fields.

There will be a brief inauguration on the 17th at 10am.
