“It is an honor to be recognized as a successful immigrant woman by the Bilbao City Council. The affirmation of my scientific work represents a beautiful confluence of personal achievement, my Iranian heritage and my integration into the Bilbao community. I am deeply grateful to BCAM for the exceptional opportunities it has provided me. This recognition would not be possible without the invaluable collaboration and encouragement of my supervisor, Marco Ellero, and my esteemed colleagues at BCAM, especially Nicolas Moreno”, declared Elnazossadat.

The Mayor of Bilbao, Juan Mari Aburto, highlighted in his recognition speech the incredible value of Elnaz and the other five honored women, stating that their stories "are a living testimony of strength, resilience, and the power of diversity." He emphasized the importance of their contributions in building a more inclusive, equitable, and prosperous society, and how they serve as role models for present and future generations.
