The exhibition “Pioneer Women of the European Union” will be on display at the Faculty of Economics and Business of the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB) from October 23 to November 26, 2023. The presentation will take place on October 25 at 11:00 am with the participation of Dr. Ana Mar Fernández-Pasarín, Professor at the Jean Monnet Chair.
Developed by the Office of the European Parliament in Barcelona and the EUROM, the exhibition highlights the biographies of Anna Lindh, Marga Klompé, Melina Mercouri, Nicole Fontaine, Nilde Iotti, Simone Veil and Ursula Hirschmann, the seven women listed as “Pioneers of the EU”, as well as of those who give their names to European Parliament buildings: Clara Campoamor Rodríguez, Sophie Schroll and Louise Weiss. The texts are accompanied by portraits by the French artist Pierre Marquès.
The first exhibition “Pioneer Women of the European Union” took place in May in the Historical Building of the University of Barcelona on the occasion of the commemorative events of Europe Day. In the first half of 2024, it will be travelling to the universities of Lleida and Tarragona thanks to the collaboration of the EU information points in the Europe Direct territory.
