The centerpiece in the 'Voices of Women @LifeWatch ERIC for International Women's Day' podcasts is this interview with International Gender Officer Africa Zanella, hosted by Chief Communication Officer Sara Montinaro, and published today 8 March 2023 - Happy International Women's Day to all our listeners!

As such, this podcast draws on the other four interviews in which scientists invited from our eight EU member states talk openly in pairs about their work and experiences.  Ms. Zanella discusses progress made in the last year at LifeWatch ERIC, gender bias, gender balance, and the importance of implementing the European Union's Gender Equality Strategy and giving a voice to women’s contributions to science and to society.
