There are also presented the main public events organized at the UAIC: “Women Researchers Day. Celebration of the UAIC Women in Science”, International Colloquium “Women in scientific research: achievements and challenges for gender equality management”, the thematic workshops on gender policies in European context, the training modules on gender mainstreaming in human resources management, seminars on career development and info-days for young researchers. Last but not least there are mentioned the communication actions like the setting up of the Open source databases UAIC Profiles of women in science, the first documentary film in the series Awards for excellence in science, the UAIC STAGES website and the other communication campaigns aimed at increasing the public visibility of outstanding feminine personalities in science and academia from the UAIC.
