The United Nations General Assembly passed resolution 70/212 on 22nd December 2015, which proclaimed the 11th day of February as the annual commemoration of the the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. 

Since then, this annual commemoration highlights and celebrates the role of women and girls in research with the goal of inspiring and engaging others, and improving gender equality in the scientific environment.

On the occasion of the International Day of Women in Science, RESOLV celebrates the “Diversity in Science Day” every year in February by organizing an event full of interesting presentations and lot of space to share experiences. A theme is selected annually to highlight a particular topic and area of discussion around a focus point for diversity and gender equality in science.
