Each year, the Science and Technology Library celebrates International Women's and Girls' Day on Science and International Women's Day with an exhibition. This year we wanted to emphasize the science and women of our country.

In the 2019-2020 academic year of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona there are thirty women professors teaching between the Faculties of Sciences and Biosciences and the School of Engineering.

For this reason, the exhibition "Càtedra amb nom de dona", available in the window of the Science and Technology Library and will remain throughout the month of February and until March 9th, 2020, aims to make them visible and emphasize their merits in the scientific and labor field as members of the University.

Despite the growing trend of female teachers since 2012, there is still much to be done in the area of ​​gender and occupational equality, especially due to the scissor effect on the academic path. This implies that the higher the academic category, the lower the relative weight of women. An encouraging fact, however, is that 50% of the Governing Team members were women during the 2017-2018 academic year, according to the information provided by the Office of Information and Documentation Management ( OGID).
