“Equity and Collaboration: Shaping the Future of Science & Engineering in Europe”
The International Network of Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES) European Regional Network (INWES Europe), in partnership with NMITE (New Model Institute for Technology and Engineering), is convening a two-day regional unconference to bring together women in STEM and diversity allies from across Europe. This gathering will offer a platform for professional development, policy dialogue, and long-term visioning for the INWES European network, and indeed for INWES globally.
What is an Unconference? It is a loosely planned (or completely unplanned) event with an agenda led by delegates. We are, however, proposing an initial theme to help us get started. Delegates will be asked to participate to shape the event as we progress through the two days. If you want to initiate a discussion, tell us!
Hosted in the innovative educational setting of NMITE, an institutional member of INWES, this event will feature invited talks to kick off discussions, facilitated workshops and collaborative sessions designed to empower INWES members, strengthen the INWES Europe regional network, and define the future direction of diversity in STEM for Europe.
