Dear All,


The United Nations' International Day of Women and Girls in Science, 
celebrated annually inFebruary, is a reminder that women and girls play 
a critical role in science and technology communities and that their 
participation should be strengthened.

You are most cordially invited to join us and the Organization for Women 
in Science for the Developing World (OWSD) for a panel discussion and 
multimedia event showcasing the challenges and successes of women in 
science. Titled "Where are the Women in Science?", the event will take 
place on Friday 10 February in ICTP's Budinich Lecture Hall from 14:00 
to 16:00.

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. The following 
conversation – joined by panellists from ICTP and TWAS and including 
Behnaz Abbasgholi-Na, a researcher from Iran who participated in ICTP's 
Training and Research in Italian Laboratories (TRIL) programme and is a 
postdoctoral fellow at Elettra – will be open to questions from the 
audience focusing on sharing actionable solutions that increase women’s 
leadership, voices and representation in science systems. Maryse Nkoua, 
the protagonist of one of the screened documentaries will also 
participate as a speaker, connected online from Brazzaville (Congo).
