XMM2Athena is joining the celebrations of the International Day of Girls and Women in Science<\/a> with the aim of showing the contributions of women to science and in particular to the field of astronomy and astrophysics.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year we present a joint international initiative of the Athena Community Office<\/a>, the XMM2Athena<\/a> project,\u00a0 the X-IFU <\/a>and WFI <\/a>consortia and the AHEAD2020 project<\/a> launching a call for AstroSciku<\/em>.\u00a0 An AstroSciku <\/em>is an adaptation of the Japanese haiku poem form, seeking the same simplicity and capture of the moment, but focused on astronomy and, for this contest,\u00a0 with a gender perspective. Although there are several variants of the Scikus we will follow the traditional 3 lines long, written in English with 5-7-5 syllabic structure and no-rhyming lines (look at The Sciku project<\/a> website<\/a> and Twitter<\/a> for help and ideas!). Participants should draw inspiration from discoveries or research made by women astronomers and astrophysicists (from all times) to create their AstroSciku<\/em><\/strong>. Each AstroSciku must be original and contain, in addition to the 3 verses, a title related either to the scientist\u00a0 to whom it refers to or to the context. Themes about high-energy astrophysics <\/em>will be especially valued.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This contest is open to anyone who wants to participate. Up to two different AstroSciku<\/em> may be submitted by posting them on the participant\u2019s personal Twitter account. To be valid, the tweets must include #2022AstroSciku #WomenInScience <\/em><\/strong>in their posts before the 7th of February 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
