RESOLV celebrates the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) in Science Day

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, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) 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.

Dr. Iris Wangermann – February 12, 2026

Join our “Unconscious Bias in Academia” workshop and discover how our brain tricks us into hidden biases – without guilt, but with curiosity and fun.

Together, we’ll explore why biases emerge, recognize common pitfalls in research, teaching, and career advancement, and reflect on our own thought patterns. Through interactive exercises, storytelling, and peer exchange, you’ll gain fresh perspectives and practical tools.

Learn how invisible barriers affect structures and processes, and develop concrete strategies for fairer, more transparent decisions. Walk away with checklists, guiding questions, and actionable methods to strengthen diversity and inclusion in your daily work. This is a space for insight, laughter, and shared discovery – where awareness meets practical impact.
