Tamara Vázquez Schröder Featured in the #científiques 2026 Campaign
December 10, 2025
IFAEThe #científiques initiative — a joint programme of the Fundació Catalana per a la Recerca i la Innovació (FCRI) and the Barcelona Institute of Science and Technology (BIST) — has released the image for its 2026 edition, featuring Tamara Vázquez Schröder, researcher at IFAE, as the scientist highlighted in this year’s campaign.
#científiques connects female scientists from both public and private institutions across Catalonia with primary and secondary school classrooms, aiming to show young students that science and technology are accessible paths — and that women are very much part of them.
For 2026, Tamara Vázquez Schröder joins the campaign as an active researcher in particle physics. She studies phenomena beyond the Standard Model, is a member of the ATLAS Collaboration since 2010, and currently conducts her research at IFAE through an ATRAE Fellowship, following a Ramón y Cajal Fellowship and postdoctoral appointments at McGill University and CERN.
The illustration for the 2026 edition is now available for download on the #científiques website.
Registrations for #científiques 2026 opened on November 2025. Classroom visits are planned for the week of 11 February 2026, coinciding with the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
