Held by UNESCO and UN Women on February 11, this year's International Day of Women and Girls in Science celebrates women's contribution to major scientific advances. Higher education and research are not to be outdone: inequalities between girls and boys tend to increase throughout the student and professional careers, and even more so in scientific fields, which are dominated by men. The establishments in the CPED network are therefore mobilizing on February 11, but also all year round, to raise awareness among the university community and encourage high school girls to dare to choose a scientific career after the Bac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
