International Day of Women and Girls in Science on February 11

News of 11.02.2026

February 11 is celebrated worldwide as a day dedicated to women and girls in science. Since 2015, the United Nations has used this day to highlight their achievements – and to draw attention to the fact that women are still underrepresented in many scientific disciplines. In 2026, the HZDR will once again participate in this day of action and focus on women from within its own organization.
