Science - it's a girl thing!

The European Commission has launched the initiative: Women in Research and Innovation.

The campaign "Science - it's a girl thing" was launched to encourage girls to study science-related subjects and to engage young women in research careers.

Women remain largely under-represented in the science, technology and research fields in Europe, which constitutes a huge waste of talent.

The campaign will challenge stereotypes on science and show young people, especially girls and young women, that science can be a great opportunity for their future. The campaign will also underline the importance of science and research in finding concrete solutions to our world's problems (food and energy security, environment, healthy ageing etc.).
