AstroSciku contest: and the winner is…!

The result of the AstroSciku contest to celebrate the International Day of Girls and Women in Science is out!

This year we presented a joint international initiative of the Athena Community Office, the XMM2ATHENA project, the X-IFU and WFI consortia and the AHEAD2020 project with the aim of showing the contributions of women to science and in particular to the field of astronomy and astrophysics through the composition of AstroScikus.

The response has been amazing and the jury had to take a very difficult decision! The final podium of AstroScikus is here:
