Today, we celebrate women and girls in science!
At the European Commission, we are working with some of the top scientists, who are proving every day that science thrives when there is a diversity of talents, education, and experience.
In honour of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, some of them shared their top advice to all the young women pursuing a scientific career.
However, we are well aware that the gender gap in research, science, and innovation is still very real and very wide. Just as the Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva said: women make up only 34% of researchers and 9% of inventors in the EU.
That needs to change, and the EU Commission is here to support women in science, namely through the EU Start-up and Scale-up Strategy.

How can an old industrial area transform into a cutting-edge sustainable district? Espoo aims to turn the Kera District into a pioneer in sustainable development, circular economy, and digitalisation, leading in resource-efficient construction, innovative and low-emission energy solutions, and new digital services and applications. Meanwhile, Keran Hallit is the starting point for planning this smart city.
