We are pleased to present the exhibition “The Marie Curies of the Mediterranean”, a celebration of the lives and achievements of female scientists and researchers from the Mediterranean region who have received the prestigious Marie Curie fellowships from the European Union and/or contribute to it through their work.

“The Marie Curies of the Mediterranean” consists of 29 panels that offer an intimate view of each of them. Each panel includes a biography that spans from their childhood and motivations to their university studies and professional achievements. Additionally, it highlights the impact of the Marie Curie fellowships on their careers and provides a glimpse into their hobbies and family life.

The exhibition has been translated into nine languages and displayed in various European, Asian, African and American countries, representing scientists and researchers from 22 countries, 19 of which are Mediterranean. Its main objectives are to inspire younger generations, highlight the cultural richness and scientifi c talent of the Mediterranean region, and increase the visibility of women in science and research.

“The Marie Curies of the Mediterranean” has been designed by El Caleidoscopio and the Marie Curie Alumni Association, partners of the MEDNIGHT consortium.
