The activities planned are grouped into three stages:

	In the first stage the WomenInNano team will review the state of the art in Nano-Science, will identify and map the competences of women scientists in this field at national, regional and European level. A database of women experts will be created based on online registration.
	In a second stage, mass media appearances and participation at open and public events (of ‘Open doors day’, ‘Girls Day’-type) are planned, all these representing a campaign to make the scientific career more attractive, especially for young women. Three regional workshops will be organized with the aim to facilitate further networking of female scientists at national and regional level and to spread their contribution in Nano-Science. A summer school joined to a regional workshop is planned to offer top-quality courses on Nano-related fields. WomenInNano will organize satellite seminars joined to the Nano-Science-related famous international conferences with the aim of increasing the visibility of female scientists at these events and to encourage their participation. A prize will be awarded to a young female scientist working in Nano-Science with good achievements in research.
	A third stage is dedicated to communicating and making contact (by meetings and roundtables) with decision making-persons at national and European level concerning the gender dimension of scientific research.
