Abstract
Project Meitner is an outreach initiative aiming at raising awareness on the situation of women in Physics. To this purpose, a series of actions have been carried out at the Instituto de Física Corpuscular (IFIC, Spain) with a double purpose: help the pioneer women of radioactivity become known by the broad public, and demystify the current archetypal view of the scientist by presenting the diversity of women who work at our institute. Special attention is paid to stimulate the self-confidence in Physics, Engineering and Computer Science (PECS) subjects to secondary-education female students, as well as to other types of public usually overlooked in outreach activities, such as people with disabilities and elderly people.
