WOMEN FOR AFRICA (Mujeres por África)

The Women for Africa Foundation is a Spanish private, non-profit entity created in February 2012 by María Teresa Fernández de la Vega, the former vice president of the Spanish Government, to promote equal rights and opportunities for women, so they can contribute to the progress of their continent. Since 2016, the CRG is participating to the Science by Women programme to support and increase the scientific and technological capacities of African women. Every year the Foundation offers prestigious fellowships to recognized senior African woman researchers to do a 6-month research internship in one of the participating Severo Ochoa centres of excellence, including the CRG.
