For IEEE Day 2021 learn something new!
The IEEE Italy Section Women in Engineering Affinity Group organizes its 5th Annual Meeting, which will be held within the IEEE RTSI 2021 – 6th International Forum on Research and Technologies for Society and Industry “Innovation for a Smart World”, in virtual mode due to the persistence of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The meeting will be an opportunity to present the Commitment Chart ”WIE.steer2STEM.chart v2.0″, released last year, to IEEE volunteers from other Region 8 countries, sharing the objectives of WIE Italy activities and the actions taken to achieve them.
During the panel session “A broader look: the commitment of EU countries to the WIE mission”, international speakers from different European countries will share experiences and outlooks on the efforts made to promote and support women’s participation in STEM careers.
Following, the poster session GENEVA 2021 (Gender Equality iN rEsearch and innoVAtion) will be held, focusing on the best practices in managing the “gender equality” in funded projects.
Later in the afternoon, members of the “WIE.steer2STEM.chart” promoting committee, WIE, AICA, AEIT, and WWE, will discuss the initiatives and actions carried out during the last year, and pave the way to the future improvement of the Commitment Chart.
Due to the COVID-19 emergency, the conference will take place in virtual mode. Participation in the event is free of charge. Instructions for participation in the virtual meeting are available here.
This webinar collaborates with IEEE – WIE (Women in Engineering) Turkey and Kenya to demystify the engineers’ and technologists’ mindsets of thinking of a problem and giving solutions that communities later turn down. This webinar looks into extending the talks to building technological or non-technological solutions, therefore having the speakers be the primary investigators in the project and having a team of mentors and mentees who will actualize a frugal and sustainable solution contextualizing the needs of the specified communities.

IEEE WIE UKI goal is to facilitate the recruitment and retention of women in technical disciplines globally.
We envision a vibrant community of IEEE women and men collectively using their diverse talents to innovate
for the benefit of humanity. IEEE WIE UK and Ireland through the Ambassador Scheme are calling women in engineering to participate in a technical, inspirational and empowering session tagged “EARLY CAREER TALK”.
This programme supports women from academia or industry who have been in an industry/postgraduate
position for less than 10 years. The first IEEE WIE UKI “EARLY CAREER TALK” event was successfully held
on April 8th 2021 has attracting attention from both academia and industry.
This second event converges the novel (state-of-the-Art) research areas in Engineering,
establishing networking/collaboration links, exploring new research opportunities for developing
interactions between Academia, Industry and Government fostering economic and social development.
Please include the following information when applying: Area of career (academia/industry); Research
interests.; what the talk about (100-word), speaker bio, links and web pages, photo.
