Celebrating Imperial's women engineers

International Women in Engineering Day from the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) will celebrate its 9th year in 2022 and we will be celebrating at Imperial College.

Figures as of June 2021 show that 16.5% of engineers are women - INWED gives women engineers around the world a profile when they are still hugely under-represented in their professions.
