+## Bridging the gap between 42 students and AI research !
+
+This year, 42AI celebrated **International Women's Rights Day** by hosting a jam site for the worldwide
+[Women in AI Safety Research Hackathon](link), a global event organized by [ApartResearch](https://apartresearch.com/sprints/women-in-ai-safety-hackathon-2025-03-07-to-2025-03-14) that gathered more than 350 participants worldwide ! 
+
+For a little more than a weekend, contenders worked at crafting a research paper on one of the challenge's proposed tracks: 
+- "Mechanistic Interpretability"
+- "Social Sciences"
+- "Public Education" 
+
+Participants from our 42AI Paris jam site have demonstrated great interest for these topics, which eventually led to 5 teams submissions covering as diverse subjects as AI biases, disinformation and fake news, guardrails for medical AI chatbots, neuronal pathways coverage or behavioral nudges to raise awareness ! 
+
+Without further adue, we are happy to shed light on these works : 
+
+- ["AI bias in resume screening" by Inès Aliane and Mauro Abidal](https://apartresearch.com/project/ai-bias-in-resume-screening).
+- ["Medical Agent Controller" by Quentin Marquet, Ouafae Moudni, Shakthivel Murugavel, Xavier Charles and Elise Racine](https://apartresearch.com/project/medical-agent-controller).
+- ["Mechanistic Interpretability Track: Neuronal Pathway Coverage" by Garance Colomer, Luc Chan, Sacha Lahlou and Leina Corporan Miath](https://apartresearch.com/project/mechanistic-interpretability-track-neuronal-pathway-coverage)
+- ["Identification if AI-generated content" by Yvan Bondar & Bakyt Naurzalinov](https://apartresearch.com/project/identification-if-ai-generated-content)
+- ["AI-Powered Policymaking: Behavioral Nudges and Democratic Accountability" by Jana Dagher & Michel Chbeir](https://apartresearch.com/project/ai-powered-policymaking-behavioral-nudges-and-democratic-accountability)
+
+Congratulations to all participants, for most of whom this was a first attempt at writing a research paper ! 
+
+This was a first hackathon for us involving research, but definitely not our last ! We'll be happy to host this kind of competition again, and continue to fill the gap between Academia and our members !
