We supported the Women in STEM campaign that launched on June 23rd within the Irish Independent and online at https://www.yourcareer.ie/campaign/women-in-stem/
Women in STEM looked at careers in STEM, mentorship and education and women returners and featured insightful content from Professor Orla Feely, President, Engineers Ireland, Gillian Harford, 30% Club, Dr Marion Boland, Science Foundation Ireland, and our very own CWiT Early Careers Co-Leads Joana Ganilho and Liana-Anca Tomescu.

They say that “this sense of belonging will prevent many from leaving and encourage our talented female population to reach their full potential”.
