Women in Science exhibit and event at ICTP

[Infopoint]

Dear All,

It's Women in Science week at ICTP!

The United Nations' *International Day of Women and Girls in Science* 
(IDWGS), celebrated every year on 11 February, is a reminder that women 
and girls play a critical role in science and technology communities and 
that their participation should be strengthened.

Every year for the past few years, ICTP joins forces with our colleagues 
at the Organization for Women in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) 
to celebrate this important day and highlight its significance among our 
scientific communities and visitors.

A poster exhibit has been set up in the main lobby of ICTP's Leonardo 
Building, showcasing women scientists, data and testimonials from ICTP 
and OWSD. An *interactive installation* has been placed on the 
blackboard next the Budinich Lecture Hall, to collect thoughts and 
testimonies from students, scientists and visitors, women and men alike. 
All are welcome and encouraged to write a short note. You will find pens 
and post-its nearby.

The celebrations will lead up to a final *today, Friday 10**^th 
**February*, in the afternoon at ICTP, titled *"Where are the Women in 
Science?"*.*

You are invited and encouraged to join us for a panel discussion and 
films showcasing the challenges and successes of women in science. The 
event will take place in ICTP's Budinich Lecture Hall from 14:00 to 
16:00. Light refreshments will be served afterwards.

Two short films created by ICTP and OWSD will be presented and screened 
during the event to highlight and celebrate success stories from 
outstanding women scientists around the world. A conversation will 
follow, with panellists from ICTP and TWAS, as well as special guest 
visitor, Behnaz Abbasgholi-Na, a researcher from Iran who has 
participated in ICTP's Training and Research in Italian Laboratories 
(TRIL) programme and is a postdoctoral fellow at Elettra. Questions from 
the audience are welcome and the panel will focus on sharing actionable 
solutions that increase women’s leadership, voices and representation in 
science systems.

Please find attached the poster with the full programme.
