Today, February 11 is the International Day of Women & Girls in science. Science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the internationally agreed development goals, including the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations.

After more than a year of hard work to develop SeeingNano novel visualization tools, our third parties are ready to test them. In the months that followed the workshop in London, all the members in the consortium have been working together in refining them. Museo Nazionale della Scienza e della Tecnologia 'Leonardo da Vinci' has been the first to start the piloting phase on February 10.
The intersection of technology, health and medicine is a crossing point that creates a new meeting space, where not only researchers, industry and technologists come together, but citizens as well. Their participation in these new areas brings a breathtaking array of possibilities: creativity, societal interests, participation and collaboration. But also a whole bunch of new questions and tensions: Which social tasks can we humanely delegate to machines? Do we have a right not to be measured, analysed and coached?
Deadline for applications is 1 March
