IEEE WIE UKI Ambassadors Programme | Sixth Event of ‘Early Career Talks’ Series – Call for Participation

IEEE WIE UKI’s goal is to facilitate the recruitment and retention of women in technical disciplines globally. We envision a vibrant community of IEEE women and men collectively using their diverse talents to innovate for the benefit of humanity.

IEEE WIE UK and Ireland through the Ambassador Scheme are calling women in engineering to participate in a technical, inspirational and empowering session known as “Early Career Talks“.

The previous events have been very successful and have attracted attention from both academia and industry. They bring together the novel (state-of-the-Art) research areas in Engineering, establishing networking/collaboration links, exploring new research opportunities for developing interactions between Academia, Industry and Government fostering economic and social development.
