Team Finland Knowledge for Women and Girls in Science

Team Finland Knowledge network in São Paulo, Los Angeles, Washington, London, New Delhi, Beijing and Singapore organizes events online and onsite to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

TFK for women and girls dialogues around the world

February 11, 2025 marks the 10th International Day of Women and Girls in Science. This day was declared by the United Nations to recognize the key role that women play in the scientific and technological community. Gender equality in science is essential for both the quality and impact of science and the empowerment of women and girls in the society. 

The Team Finland Knowledge (TFK) network of the Ministry of Education and Culture of Finland launches a series of global dialogues to promote the role of women and girls in science. Despite cultural, societal and contextual differences, women tend to face similar obstacles in academia worldwide. The aim of the events is to shed new light on the structural challenges related to inequality in science, explore common alternatives to address them and encourage joint actions for the future.
