On June 18, 2025, the documentary video “Girls On Board of the Science and Technology Train” was officially presented at an event that served as the launch of the project of the same name, developed by the Knowledge Management Area of the Spanish Railways Foundation. The project received funding from the FECYT Foundation, which is affiliated with the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities.
The project “Girls On Board of the Science and Technology Train” was launched with the goal of increasing scientific and technological vocations among girls in the railway sector. In addition to promoting STEAM fields, it aims to raise awareness of the importance of women’s roles in the world of railway science and technology, the inequalities they face in these areas, and the impact that scientific and technological professions in the railway sector have on societal progress.
Girls All Aboard the Science and Technology Train has the following objectives:
- To promote scientific vocations and an innovative spirit among students—especially girls—encouraging them to pursue disciplines related to research and innovation in rail transport.
- To foster gender equality and the empowerment of girls and women through education in railway-related fields.
- To bring the science, technology, and research and innovation activities of the railway sector closer to Spanish society.
- To highlight the scientific, technological, and innovation developments carried out by Spanish institutions and research centers.
- To promote the recognition of the railway as a symbol of the values that scientific, technological, and innovation advances contribute to social, economic, safety, and environmental well-being.
The project is funded by FECYT (Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology) within the framework of the 2023 Grants for the Promotion of Scientific, Technological and Innovation Culture (FCT-23-19207) and has a duration of one year.
