At the Biosanitary Research Institute of Granada, we celebrate the Women and Girls in Science Month to commemorate February 11, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, as well as the March 8, Women's Day, with different activities. Our goal is to recognize the importance of promoting the participation of women and girls in the scientific field, for which we have organized events that seek to inspire, empower and make visible the achievements of women in biohealth research.
