Cultural heritage comes in many shapes and forms, also in Science: tangible for example microscopes, research centres, computerized axial tomography machines; intangible for example the Scientific’s effort and constancy to spread the knowledge in order to improve people’s health and wellbeing; natural for example the electromagnetic radiation spectrum or microscopic world with its fauna and flora and digital shape that includes digital creations as a way to preserve the scientific cultural heritage.
This project will start in March and regarding the 8th International women day we would like to highlight the contribution of women to the Science. Starting with pioneer women who fought to make visible women's achievements in science to nowadays scientific women in hospitals, chemistry and physics laboratories and research centres.
This project aims to build digital creations as a way to preserve the contribution of women to science and pay tribute to all women who contribute to improving
