#NCCRWOMEN CAMPAIGN CELEBRATES WOMEN IN RESEARCH
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of women obtaining the right to vote in Switzerland, the 22 active NCCRs have joined forces in an online video campaign, with the aim of showing how women occupy a central place in research in almost all scientific fields.
From Women’s Day on March 8th, to the 50th anniversary of the women's first vote in Switzerland October 31st, female researchers from across the country are showing viewers who they are, what they do and why they are doing it. The video series is targeted at women and girls of school and undergraduate age, and show what day-to-day life as a scientist is like. Each NCCR has the task of hosting for one week, during which they publish a series of videos featuring researchers from different scientific disciplines.

The NCCR Kidney.CH was proud to host during the first week of April 2021. We spoke to esteemed NCCR scientists Murielle Bochud, Ruxandra Bachmann-Gagescu, Sophie de Seigneux, and Uyen Huynh-Do. Follow this exciting campaign under #NCCRWomen on Twitter, YouTube, and Instagram.
