The International Network of Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES) invites proposals to host the 21st International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists (ICWES21), to be held in the third or fourth quarter of 2029.
Held every three years, ICWES is a flagship global event that brings together women in STEM to exchange knowledge, foster collaboration, and advance gender equity in science and engineering. ICWES20 was successfully held in August 2026 in Clark Freeport and Economic Zone, Philippines.
We warmly invite member organizations from all regions to consider hosting ICWES21 and to come forward with a proposal — we would be glad to hear from any organization ready to take on this role. In line with our commitment to regional diversity and inclusion, proposals from Africa and the Americas are especially encouraged.
For proposal guidelines, submission details, or any questions, please contact:
INWES Vice President, Conferences — Kadiata Ba, kadiata.ba(@)inwes.net

Please note that a proposal must involve at least one current INWES member.
