The National Commission for Science and Technology (NCST) joins the International Community as we commemorate the 2025 International Day of Women and Girls in Science. We remember this day under the theme “Celebrating Achievements, Advancing Gender Equity and Honouring Excellence in Science.”  This year’s theme reminds us of the gender gaps in science and calls for our renewed commitment to breakdown the existing barriers and stereotypes. With vigour we will build a community where we Recognise, Resource and Reward women and girls’ contributions and discoveries in the scientific community.
