International Day of Women and Girls in Science • February 11, 2026
As the CRIR celebrates 25 years of innovation, we join the international community in marking the 2026 International Day of Women and Girls in Science. We are proud to highlight their dedication, leadership, and the strength of their contributions to the research conducted at the CRIR.
Inclusion at the heart of our mission
🌟At the CRIR, 57.3% of our members (67 out of 117) are women researchers. This reflects an organizational culture where diversity, equity, and access to research are priorities.
25 years of rehabilitation research
👌Every day, the women researchers, professionals, students, and collaborators at the CRIR play a vital role in advancing rehabilitation. They enrich and help shape the evolution of the 22 disciplines represented at the CRIR — a range that includes physiotherapy and occupational therapy, as well as engineering and architecture — by innovating, supporting the next generation of scientists, and responding to the real needs of people and communities.
ANOTHER RARE FACT:
Thank you to all those who advance science
❤️ Thank you for your commitment, your vision, and your impact. You inspire future generations.
The Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal (CRIR) is a unique research centre. It stands out for the excellence, breadth, and diversity of its rehabilitation research, as well as for its interdisciplinary, cross‑sectoral, and knowledge‑mobilization initiatives. These initiatives have a significant impact in clinical, scientific, public, and community settings. The CRIR is also an exceptional hub for training the next generation of researchers.
The United Nations and UNESCO remind us that science and gender equality are essential to addressing global challenges
