women with their own light

In commemoration of February 11, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, this page brings together a selection of interviews with female researchers affiliated with the University of Salamanca.

We invite you to read and share these interviews as a way to inspire girls and young women, encourage new scientific vocations, and recognize the essential role of women in the construction of knowledge.

With this initiative, LUMES aims to promote role models who foster vocations in STEM fields.
