Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

FEBS extends its heartfelt wishes to all women and girls in Science in honor of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, celebrated on February 11:

Dear Women and Girls in Science,

On this special day, we celebrate your brilliance, resilience, and contributions to advancing knowledge and shaping a better future. Science thrives on creativity, diligence, and collaboration, and your dedication is an inspiration to us all.

As we mark the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (International Day of Women and Girls in Science | United Nations) and reflect on progress, let us continue breaking barriers, challenging stereotypes, and supporting all scientists in building a more inclusive and scientific community.

With the aim of enhancing the visibility, recognition, and promotion of women and girls in molecular life sciences, on the occasion of FEBS 60th Anniversary we created the Women’s Careers in Science eBook. It showcases inspiring stories of outstanding women in science from 35 FEBS countries, highlighting their diverse career paths and how they balance scientific pursuits with personal and family commitments, aiming to inspire future generations of female scientists.

FEBS stands with you in championing equality, diversity, inclusion, and excellence in science. Keep inspiring, keep innovating, and keep leading the way!

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

With admiration and support,
FEBS

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!
