#Científiques2026

Last week, Katerina, Mireia and Carol participated in several outreach sessions at secondary schools in the Vallès area as part of the #cientifiques initiative.
During these visits, they shared their professional journeys with primary and secondary school students, presenting different pathways into scientific careers and highlighting the role of women in STEM fields. The sessions aimed to make research more visible and accessible, showing students that there are multiple routes into science and that curiosity and perseverance are key elements of any scientific path. They also took time to answer their questions and discuss what working in research involves on a day-to-day basis.

Preparing and organizing this activity in collaboration with the schools was also an opportunity for internal engagement. The entire research group contributed at different stages of the process, turning the initiative into a valuable team-building experience and reinforcing our collective commitment to outreach and education.
Engaging with students at such an early stage is both a privilege and a responsibility. We hope initiatives like this continue to grow and contribute to building stronger connections between research and the educational community!
