International Day of Women and Girls in Science

Celebrating women making a difference

(International Day of Women and Girls in Science)

Women have made remarkable progress towards increasing their participation in higher education but they are still under-represented in all science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines around the world.

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, La Fondation Dassault Systèmes honors three exceptional women who are committed to advancing STEM educational opportunities and providing girls and women access to pursue careers in all science fields.
