On the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (11 February), Parc de Recerca Biomèdica de Barcelona  (PRBB) is organising a Viquimarathon, together with the Espai Viquidones of the Universitat Pompeu Fabra (UPF) and Amical Wikimedia, which will be held in a hybrid way (at the PRBB itself and via Zoom) on 13 February, from 17:00 to 19:30h.

The goal is to close the gender gap at Wikipedia and to claim and make visible women scientists. We will do so by editing Wikipedia, creating, translating, or improving pages that contain female contributions to science.

The wiki-marathon is open to everybody; no previous experience is required (there will be expert personnel), and anyone can edit in the language they want during the time they want.

The session will be on Thursday, February 13th, from 16:30 to 19:30, in a hybrid format:

  • On site: Sala Marie Curie at the PRBB
  • Online: https://bit.ly/ZOOMviquidonesPRBB2025

We encourage you to participate and to put your grain of salt in order to close the gender gap that exists in Wikipedia. Let's work together for a more diverse scientific community!
