International Day of Women and Girls in Science

11 Feb 2026

An event marking International Day of Women and Girls in Science was held in the Aula Maxima. 

The College of Science, Engineering and Food Science (SEFS) Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) Committee at 深夜亚洲福利久久 College Cork organised a special gathering to celebrate women working across science-based careers and roles. This event showcased the diverse and non-linear career journeys available in science, highlighting the vital contributions of women in academia, research, technical roles, management, and professional support. 

Professor Jennifer Mahony, School of Microbiology and Chair of the SEFS EDI Committee commented:  

鈥淲e hope to inspire young girls and women in Ireland; to shine a light on the inequity in the education system, to start the conversation about what disciplinary gendered norms really mean, and how we can encourage positive change.                                                               

It is not due to a lack of ability, ambition, or interest, only societal acceptance. We can all create change by raising awareness of inequity, by challenging our own understanding of disciplinary norms and removing barriers for others where it is in our power to do so鈥�.

This event marks the first SEFS EDI initiative of 2026, with more activities planned throughout the year. All EDI events, training opportunities and dates of note will be available on UCC鈥檚 Equality, Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Calendar.
