Two Successful First Seasons

The ‘Women & Girls in Science’ video series showcases inspiring women in science, aiming to empower girls and foster inclusivity in science and research. Initiated in 2022, two editions have been successfully launched, featuring six videos and one trailer each. The campaign highlights the narrative of diverse women scientists in Luxembourg, their achievements, and personal journeys. Its goal is to empower women and girls in research, break barriers, defy stereotypes, and create a more inclusive scientific landscape, while celebrating that science is open to all.

With more than 550,000 viewers and numerous positive feedback on social media, the success of the first editions of the Women [& Girls] in Science held in 2021 and 2022 made the shooting of a season 3 bound to happen.
