The wikimarathon of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, organized every February for five years by the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB) and by Viquidones UPF, is an activity that is part of the framework of events which are celebrated worldwide on the occasion of this day (11F) and which aims to make women visible in science.

The existing gender gap in Wikipedia affects the perception of female figures in science. This is why we will work both in biographies of scientists and researchers, and in articles on different disciplines where the scientific contributions of women are not sufficiently reflected. We will edit in any language and focus on creating, translating, or improving articles.

The wikimarathon is open to everyone, no prior experience is required - it counts with the support of expert staff - and anyone can edit in the language of their choice and for as long as they want.

Register here to join the wikimarathon!

The article in el·lipse "El PRBB aplega la comunitat científica per visibilitzar les dones" explains this initiative, which this year counts with the collaboration of many research centers and entities!
