FECYT renews IBE's designation as Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit (UCC+i)
Science is full of SHEroes whose passion, work and creativity inspired Evolutionary Biologists of today.
As part of our commitment with society, the Institute of Evolutionary Biology (IBE, CSIC-UPF) wants to give credit and visibility to the achievements of female scientists in evolution.
To that aim, we launched the campaign #WhoisyourSHEro to share stories of women who had an impact in our researchers' scientific career through our social media and website.
The campaign keeps on moving as more and more women in evolution are inspiring the IBE community.
You can join the conversation through social media under the hashtag #WhoisyourSHEro.
With the collaboration of the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology - Ministry of Science and Innovation.

FECYT renews IBE's designation as Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit (UCC+i)
With this accreditation, the FECYT recognizes the work for the dissemination of science of all member institutions. The recognition will be valid until December 2022.
The Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT) has granted the IBE the designation of Scientific Culture and Innovation Unit (UCC+i) in recognition of its informative and educative task. Therefore, the Institute will continue to be an accredited member of the UCC+i Network that integrates about 80 organizations throughout Spain.
The IBE has a communication and dissemination unit that plans and executes numerous dissemination and scientific communication actions throughout the year, with the aim of bringing research in evolutionary biology to citizens. Examples are IBE's course of evolutionary biology for educators, as well as participation in the Science Week, or the International Day of Women and Girls in Science and its task communicating the scientific discoveries of its research teams.
Through the Scientific Network Communication platform (ComCiRed), members of the UCC+i Network can establish contact, exchange communication and scientific communication practices and contents, and request joint dissemination projects. In addition, all members can participate in the annual ComCiRed meeting with the rest of members of the UCC+i network.
