The video contest, aimed at secondary school, high school and vocational training students, offers €16,000 for scientific and technological material
The organization of the competition has grown thanks to the agreement between the research foundations INCLIVA, IIS-La Fe, ISABIAL, Fisabio and the University of Valencia
Alicante (17/12/23). The 7th edition of the video contest “De mayor quiero ser como…” begins. This year, the competition features a greater number of organizers. In addition to the Foundation for the Promotion of Health and Biomedical Research of the Valencian Community (Fisabio) and the University of Valencia, the Clínico Hospital of Valencia Health Research Institute (INCLIVA), the La Fe Health Research Institute (IIS-La Fe) and the Alicante Institute for Health and Biomedical Research (ISABIAL) have joined
The competition, aimed at Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO), high school and vocational training students in the Valencian Community, allows participants to research and identify female role models or groups of women in scientific, technological and innovative disciplines
The aim is to promote and reward videos created by young students that identify female role models and recognize a reality that remains invisible and hinders the professional development of women scientists
The deadline for submitting entries has begun with the publication of the rules on the competition blog (https://blogs.fisabio.san.gva.es/demajorvullsercom/) and will run until January 31, 2024. Participation will be carried out through the EasyPromos platform at the following link: https://pr.easypromosapp.com/register/967823

A jury will be responsible for deliberating on the submitted works and selecting the winning videos and any special mentions. The jury will be composed of experts linked to the fields of equality, science, education and research, as well as the creative and cultural sectors, particularly audiovisual communication.
The awards ceremony will take place between February and March, serving as a link between the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, held on February 11, and International Women’s Day, celebrated on March 8.
Over the six editions held so far, more than 320 videos have been submitted and over 1,100 students have participated. To date, 185 educational centers have taken part, and this number is expected to increase this year.
