The Project

The main objective has been to create meeting spaces in which people from very different fields unite to learn from each other.

Women Scientists Speak up!

“Women Scientists Speak up!” is a project that tries to bring basic or fundamental science to the general public, through the story of 15 scientists who have obtained a project from the European Research Council, a European body that finances scientific breakthroughs on the frontier of knowledge.

This project has focused on the woman scientist on one hand and on the other, the general public who is unfamiliar with these circles of knowledge.

Fifteen micro-videos summarizing the researchers’ projects and a series of round table discussions were held throughout the national territory in an easy-to-understand language.

After the celebration of these talks, the attendees have interpreted the information given about the projects through drawings, comments or reflections. All this feedback has been collected in a 2019 agenda. The project has made known the science financed by the European Union and explains how “fundamental science” is not so far from our daily lives.
