#ICOMMIT, CREAF people are committed to equality between men and women in the scientific community
Women represent less than 30% of the world's research personnel. In Spain, they occupy only 25% of the female professorships. At CREAF, only 21% of the principal investigators are women.
Alicia Pérez-Porro: "I admire CREAF's multidisciplinary spirit and transversality, one of the reasons that got me interested in this position"
A few months before the end of 2020, CREAF welcomed Alicia Pérez-Porro as the new Scientific Coordinator, a key and cross-functional leadership role for the center.
Alicia is a marine biologist who combines ecology, gender equality, science policy and science diplomacy. After 12 years living in the United States, she is thrilled to return home “twice”: returning to Catalonia, and returning to the biodiversity and climate change research arena.
