IITA seeks to build the next generation of female scientists and leaders Share Share 19 February 2021 On 11 February, the Women in Research and Science (WIRES) held a 13-hour marathon webinar to celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The event themed “CGIAR Women in Science: Shaping the world through science and innovation,” assembled CGIAR centers to each give an hour presentation. Besides hearing about some cutting-edge science, participants engaged directly with some of CGIAR’s finest women scientists and speakers. IITA joined WIRES to showcase how CGIAR women scientists are transforming how we look at food, land, and water systems worldwide. Apart from celebrating its female scientists, IITA also sought to train and attract young girls into science through programs like IITA Youth Agripreneurs (IYA) and Start Them Early Program (STEP). IITA Women’s Group also partners in the Raising Girls Ambition (RAGA) program to sponsor young girls in science careers.
