The Vitoria-Gasteiz Campus of the Technology Park hosts the travelling exhibition ‘Euskal Emakumeak Teknologian’ until November

The exhibition, which has already been installed at the Abanto Campus, aims to contribute to the development of STEM vocations through the public dissemination of the work of three generations of Basque women who have been, are and will be references in the field of technology and teaching in the Basque Country.

Since last month, the central building of the Vitoria-Gasteiz Campus has been hosting the exhibition ‘Euskal Emakumeak Teknologianian’, promoted by the Euskadi Technology Park and the Basque Government’s Telecommunications Society, Itelazpi, which will tour the three territories in which the Technology Park is located.

After passing through Campus Abanto, where it was on display between April and July, the exhibition is now making its second stop in Araba. It will be here until November, when it will be moved to Campus Donostia.

During these first months, hundreds of people – both employees of the companies in the Technology Park and students from different academic centres who have visited the Campus – have been able to contemplate the different information panels that make up the exhibition, the aim of which is to give visibility to Basque women from three different generations who are a reference in the field of technology.

The ‘Euskal Emakumeak Teknologian’ exhibition has its origin in the Equality calendar that Itelazpi has published in recent years as a sign of its firm commitment against gender violence, the use of non-sexist language, and the visibility and promotion of women in technology. This commitment is fully shared by the Euskadi Technology Park, which has wanted to collaborate in the maximum dissemination of the exhibition by granting them a preferential exhibition space in its facilities.

The three generations of Basque women of reference have been classified into three groups: pioneers, current teachers and researchers. The panels that are now in the central building of Campus Vitoria-Gasteiz show, through illustrations by David Fernández Rentería, the work and importance of these women in the scientific-technological field.
