The Women in Science theme week

The theme week, running from 5 to 11 February, will include a social media campaign highlighting the work and achievements of women researchers. The campaign calls on researchers to share briefly, in a free form, what important problems their research is helping to solve. When writing about the Day of Women in Science on social media, hashtags #NaisedTeaduses and #WomenInScience should be used. 

Everyone interested can buy badges with the Day of Women in Science logo at the University of Tartu gift shop; free stickers are available to the quickest. 

On 8 February, starting at 15:00, a panel discussion “Women in science: is science plagued by gender issues?” (in Estonian) will be held in the White Hall of the University of Tartu Museum and broadcast live on UTTV. After the panel discussion, Curator Ken Ird will lead a guided tour (in Estonian) of the exhibition “Art or Science”, which focuses, among other things, on the role of women in the history of science in the 19th century. Participation in the discussion panel and the guided tour is free. 

The Day of Women in Science has been celebrated in Estonia at the initiative of the University of Tartu and the Estonian Young Academy of Sciences (EYAS) since 2021. The day aims to underline the role of women and girls in science, break stereotypes and encourage women to pursue a career in science. Since 2016, the L’Oréal and UNESCO For Women in Science fellowships have been awarded in Estonia.
