Our students participated in the two-day Women in Physics Festival . It was a virtual event organized on April 24 and 25 , 2021 by students of the Zagreb and Split Faculty of Science with the aim of promoting the importance of women ' s contribution to physics with an emphasis on astrophysics . Also , the goal was to provide participants with a better insight into the life of a physicist and to illustrate why they chose this science as a life direction .
The event itself consisted of lectures by scientists and students and interactive workshops that took place on Saturday and Sunday , April 24 and 25 this year . All lectures and workshops were held in a virtual format and therefore the number of participants was not limited . The lectures lasted half an hour and were adapted to the knowledge of the high school , and after each lecture there was time for questions from the participants .
