11th of February: Women Astronomer Infographic Contest

In alignment with our commitment to celebrate the International Day of Girls and Women in Science, we launched a call to highlight the invaluable contributions of women astronomers, through the design of engaging infographics, created with the assistance of generative AI tools. We encouraged creativity and inclusivity while maintaining a respectful and professional environment.

This was a joint international initiative of the EU H2020 XMM2ATHENA, Athena Community Office, the X-IFU, d WFI consortia, and  AHEAD2020 projects.

This contest was open to anyone who wants to participate. The winning infographic was published on websites and social media of the above mentioned projects. The winner selection was done by draw, among all the correct answers, and the winner was Kunasin Somphadung, whose infographic honoured the great American astronomer Vera Rubin.
