Once again this year, IDIVAL is commemorating the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11F) by participating in various initiatives that will take place during the week of 10-15 February. Through these activities, IDIVAL seeks to raise awareness of the role of women in science and encourage scientific vocations among young people.
