Women in STEMM, Inspiring Inclusion: Strategies that Work
King’s Women in STEMM Season marks a period from the UN’s International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11th February to International Women’s Day on 8th March.
Through a series of inspirational talks and panel discussions with a wide variety of speakers, the season aims to celebrate women and anyone who identifies as a woman working in STEMM.
This season will bring together staff, students from King’s and external colleagues to share ideas for how we break down the barriers faced by women in STEMM, sparking new conversations and actions for building a culture at King’s that benefits all members of the community.
Keynote
As STEMM continues to evolve, we discuss ways in which we can do more to inspiring inclusion and increase representation of women and girls across STEMM based education and careers. The keynote and panel discussion will explore strategies and initiatives that individuals, institutions and sectors can do to increase and maintain representation of women and girls in STEMM across STEMM based education and careers.
The talk will be followed by a panel discussion with the audience – where you will get the chance to ask questions and share your ideas on these issues.
Join us to explore and contribute to the changes we can all make to inspire and champion inclusion in STEMM.
