At BCAM we continue to work on the Gender Equality Plan in order to offer equal opportunities for the team of the centre.
We encourage you to engage in BCAM efforts to increase the presence of women in our activities. Be active in promoting women's presence whenever you organize an event or invite a researcher!

These awards are organized by the Department of Education of the Basque Government in collaboration with the Basque Innovation Agency-Innobasque, within the STEAM Euskadi Strategy. The Special Gender Mention also comes with a financial endowment of 1,000 euros that we will use to further implement our outreach initiatives.
With the support of the STEAM Euskadi seal, BCAM will continue to expand and improve its program to reach an even wider audience and promote curiosity about mathematics. |
