Behind every EFSA scientist was once a girl curious about the world.

Today, on the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the journeys of the women who turned that curiosity into impact, leading research that protects Europe’s food, environment and animal health.

From pioneering animal‑free chemical risk assessment, to safeguarding biodiversity, strengthening consumer protection or advancing animal health: their expertise drives science forward, every day.

There are countless inspiring women in science across the hashtag#OneHealth EU Agencies. Explore the LinkedIn pages of European Environment Agency, European Chemicals Agency, European Medicines Agency, European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) to discover more success stories!

Here’s to the women whose passion for science helps build a safer, healthier future for all ✨
