Popis: The Public University of Navarre joined with Navarre Government has created the Women, Science and Technology Chair. This chair arises due to the plummeting tendency of the percentage of women in STEM degrees with the aim of reversing this trend. The programme of activities is defined throughout this contribution by six activities: a Theatre Play, a Poster Award on Final Degree/Masters Project, The 1st Week of Women, Science and Technology, the Promotion of Technical Degrees in schools and high-schools, a Workshop about Gender Stereotypes and the Fostering of Women among Science and Environment. Each activity gained great success and the preset goals were highly accomplished, especially, the 1st Week of Women, Science and Technology activity. The latter achieved a great success both in participation and in repercussion, contributing to visualize the role of women in science and technology. Authors are grateful to Navarre Government, Caja Navarra Foundation, Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology (FECYT-Ministerio de Economía, Industria y Competitividad), Public University of Navarre, IEEE CAS Spain Chapter and the Chair in Renewable Energy of the Public University of Navarre.
