IEEE Women in Engineering Committee (WIEC), selected the IEEE WIE Italy Affinity Group as recipient of an Honorable Mention on the 2021 WIE Affinity Group of the Year Award.
Congratulations to the team!
In the “Challenges and Opportunities: Towards a Better WIE Future” workshop, female engineers tell us about the challenges they faced and how they overcame them. This will help others to learn by example from other expert engineers and help them on their journey. Professional female engineers from academia and industry will tell us about the different opportunities which will empower us to pursue further opportunities in the different areas of interest. Male engineers will show how they support women in their career and how they can be role models for others to advance women in technology.

An interest in Educational Activities has been noticed in IEEE Region 8 WiE members, showcasing a high enthusiasm of the work being done and the progress that has been achieved. With the scope of providing and promoting the available opportunities to our members, IEEE Region 8 WiE organize a web-presentation on the newly launched STEM Portal by IEEE Educational Activities and its available resources – member benefits – growth potentials and more.
The STEM Portal is for IEEE Volunteers and serves as a resource for all things related to Pre-University STEM programs and activities. Is a source of already existing fascinating educational activities and programs for IEEE volunteers to engage with a spectrum of STEM resources. Not only that, but, STEM Portal provides you the unique opportunity to submit and share your own already designed, developed and applied educational programs and to share your best practises, by being visible and accessible to everyone.
Get inspired from others, and inspire with your actions.
