#NCCRWomen Campaign

The NCCR RNA & Disease participates in the #NCCRWomen campaign and publishes five portraits with female researchers from our network!

#NCCRWomen campaign

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of women obtaining the right to vote in Switzerland, all NCCRs currently in place across the whole country joint forces to release a series of videos showcasing women working in science. The videos are targeted at girls and boys of school and undergraduate age. The videos aim to influence the stereotypes of how people picture a scientist and to give insights into the everyday life of scientists. Each NCCR will host a week where they will publish several videos covering multiple scientific disciplines, from 8th of March (#InternationalWomensDay) until 31st of October 2021 (50th anniversary of the women's vote in Switzerland).

Follow the #NCCRWomen campaign on YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and the hashtag #NCCRWomen to meet women working in research in Switzerland!
