Influencing the scientific community

• We are co-leading the creation of a Working Group on Gender in Science in the context of the SOMM Alliance (the network of Severo Ochoa Centers and María de Maeztu Units in Spain). The first event took place in Madrid in October 2019, where we presented the results of the first survey on Gender issues across the center. 1st SOMMA Gender event
