IV Scientific Journey of Western Bahia

Abstract

In response to CNPq/MCTIC Call n. 06/2021 - The transversality of science, technology, and innovations for the planet, launched during the Covid-19 pandemic, professors from the Federal University of Western Bahia wrote the project entitled “The transversality of science, technology and innovation in facing the Covid-19: building post-pandemic paths”. Various activities, such as workshops, lectures, exhibitions of scientific experiments, debates and round tables were programmed, in a remote format, and included in an event entitled “IV Scientific Journey of Western Bahia”. The event had, on average, 300 participants, and presented itself as a very successful proposal for what was planned, since, even in times of pandemic, it was possible to disseminate science, sharing knowledge about various topics, such as health with information about Covid-19, the well-being of men and women, female empowerment, showing that there is still a lot of space for women to conquer in science.
