This event has been joint organised by IEEE Women in Engineering UK & Ireland (WIE UKI) Chapter and CONFIRM, the Science Foundation Ireland funded research centre for Smart Manufacturing based at the University of Limerick.
Overview:
Much international research indicates that women are significantly underrepresented in many STEM fields, particularly in fields such as enginerring and manufacturing. In Ireland for example, approximately 75% of the STEM workforce are men.
This trend is seen internationally also; as per AAUW, Women and Girls make up only 28% of the workforce in STEM and tend to opt for non-engineering disciplines.
This event focuses on women who have developed successful careers pursuing fields in Engineering, Science and Technology – leading by example in male-dominant fields. It also provides an opportunity for women to share their novel research ideas, experience and skill, through interaction with all stakeholders in the research ecosystem.
