This March 8th for International Women's Day, UC Vice-Chancellor of Research, Pedro Bouchon, pays tribute to all the researchers at the university, through the following greeting:

"Determination, leadership and motivation, are some of the qualities that stand out to our UC Researchers. Women who, from different areas, make a difference and actively contribute to the common good.

It is a pride for us to have outstanding academics who every day combine the challenges of daily life with the great questions that actively contribute to the development of knowledge and its impact.

This month, some of our experts will share valuable tips to inspire more women and generations of researchers and creators to come, to dream of the richness of discovery.

Congratulations on International Women's Day", UC authority said.
