International Day of women in science 2026

/in /by

🔬👩‍🔬Today, the ENDOTARGET EU Project proudly celebrates the brilliant women driving scientific discovery, innovation, and change 💫 across our consortium and around the world.

From exploring the gut–joint axis to shaping the future of personalised medicine, women in science are essential to the progress we make in research, health, and society. Yet, gender gaps persist and today is a reminder to continue fostering equity, visibility, and opportunity in every lab, clinic, and boardroom.

♥️ Let’s raise awareness, give credit where it’s due, and keep inspiring the next generation of scientists.
