[Igeba] Fwd: Celebrate Women in Science! Announcing the Short Talks, Big Impacts Competition

[Claudia Prezzi]

Dear OWSD Members and Partners,

Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science!

Today, we celebrate the incredible achievements of women scientists
around the world, and their vital contributions to solving some of the
most pressing challenges we face globally. At OWSD, we are proud to
honor these women and continue supporting the advancement of women in
science.

As part of the celebrations, we are thrilled to announce the SHORT
TALKS, BIG IMPACTS OWSD Women in Science Spotlight Competition, a live
event where OWSD members can present their groundbreaking research in a
dynamic 3-minute format. This competition is designed to highlight the
importance of research and how it contributes to local and global
solutions. Participants will have the chance to present their work to a
global audience, with regional sessions and a grand finale, where the
audience and expert panel will choose the winners.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE:

  	* REGIONAL SESSIONS: Women scientists (OWSD members) from Africa,
Latin America and the Caribbean, and Asia and the Arab States will
compete in live webinars. Presentations will be followed by audience
voting.
  	* GRAND FINALE: The top two presenters from each region will advance
to the grand finale, where both public voting and an expert panel will
determine the global winner(s).

We invite all OWSD members to register and share their research in this
exciting format. EVEN EARLY-CAREER SCIENTISTS ARE ENCOURAGED TO
PARTICIPATE! If you are not an OWSD member yet, you can attend as voting
audience. The links to participate as voting audience to each sessions
