On the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the PRBB is organising this edit-a-thon to mark this day and try to increase the visibility of women in science.

The event will take place on Monday, February 11th, 2019, from 3pm to 7pm in the “Charles Darwin room” of the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park (PRBB).

The gender gap that exists in Wikipedia affects the perception of the role female figures have played in science. On this edit-a-thon, or wikimarathon, we will aim to work in both biographies of scientists and researchers, as well as articles on various scientific disciplines where women's contributions are not reflected enough. These can be published in any language and participants can either create, translate or improve articles.

This wikimarathon, the fourth organized by the PRBB with the collaboration of Amical Wikimedia, is open to all researchers at the Barcelona Biomedical Research Park and other research centers in Barcelona and its surroundings, as well as anyone interested in gender issues in science. We also encourage you to participate virtually if you are not in Barcelona!

It is supported by the Viquidones UPF workgroup, and therefore the learning and edits that start during the wikimarathon can find continuity in this permanent editing space that meets every Tuesday 5 to 8pm at the UPF.
