On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we celebrate the achievements and place of women in the science field. Women have led ground-breaking research into public health, vaccines, treatments and innovative technology, and been on the front lines of COVID-19 response as scientists, health care workers and more. In this context, we want to reflect on and highlight some achievements from the past year.

REHVA Student Competition 2020

For this 2020 edition, out of the 16 competitors of the Student Competition, 10 were women. This number is encouraging and shows the greater diversification and opening of scientific studies to women in the HVAC sector. A progress that must be highlighted and encouraged.

In addition, the first prize in the Student Competition was won by Maaike Leichsenring for her project on "Flow Visualization of Ammonia inside a Corrugated Plate Heat Exchanger Condenser" which won over the jury. She also won the Best Poster Award for the first edition of this prize.
