CITEEC x International Women in Engineering Day

At the Centre for Technological Innovation in Building and Civil Engineering (CITEEC), we are celebrating the International Women in Engineering Day with the publication of the award decision for the 1st School Comics Competition, “Women in Engineering”, launched on 30 April.

The competition brought together primary and secondary school students from across Galicia, who submitted works featuring a wide variety of styles, themes and narratives focused on the careers and contributions of women in engineering.

The jury, made up of members of the CITEEC Equality Committee and meeting on 19 June, agreed to grant the following awards:

• First Prize in the Secondary School category: Uxía Fernández Agras, a student at CPR Plurilingüe Losada (Vigo).
• First Prize in the Primary School category: Anael Grobas Núñez, from CEIP Plurilingüe Sofía Casanova (Culleredo).
• Special “Golden Pencil” Mention in the Primary School category: Ada Diéguez Rodríguez, from CEIP Plurilingüe Cardeal Quiroga Palacios (Santiago de Compostela).
• Special “Green Engineers” Mention in the Primary School category: Sara Méndez Vázquez, from CEIP de Currelos (O Saviñao).

CITEEC would like to thank all the students and teachers involved for their participation and to acknowledge the quality and creativity of the submitted works.

The centre’s management team will contact the award recipients to arrange their visit to CITEEC and the award ceremony, which will take place in the coming days depending on the availability of the parties involved.

CITEEC Researchers

In addition, with the aim of highlighting the role of women researchers linked to engineering and showcasing the different research lines developed at the centre, CITEEC has published a commemorative video featuring researchers from different fields, who share key words and concepts related to their scientific and research activities.
