Diversity in this field is anything but straightforward. Women remain a minority in the sector, and we aim to shed light on their experiences today as we shape a vision for the future.
We invite you to join this important conversation and learn with us. You’ll have the opportunity to engage directly with our panelists, posing questions and challenging them on topics such as barriers to gender equality, affirmative action, intersectionality, and more.
Event highlights:
- Inspiring talks from trailblazing women engineers and scientists
- Dynamic panel discussions on how diversity and inclusion drive innovation and excellence
- Networking opportunities to connect with like-minded professionals and allies committed to advancing gender equality in STEM
This event isn’t just about celebrating achievements – it’s about sparking meaningful conversations and driving real progress towards a more equitable future. Whether you’re a seasoned professional, a student eager to make your mark, or an ally dedicated to fostering diversity, your voice and perspective are essential.
Panelists and their messages
We are at the dawn of a new era in space exploration. When we are coming back to the Moon, we will do it in a different mindset than ever before: a woman and a person of colour will set foot on the Moon. This will be a major achievement and is reflecting the advancements in our society.— Cristina Plettner
But we need to do more. We, men and women, researchers, engineers, and scientists, are asked to think over our patterns of thinking and reacting, together to shape a better future for women in engineering.
‘What you focus on grows’ is a phrase used in business to align priorities to action. I am excited to be part of this year’s Women in Engineering (WIE) panel at RADECS. The WIE panel gives focus to women that work in engineering to understand the challenges and successes that will enable us to grow the percent representation to parity. Looking forward to your questions and shared insights at RADECS. See you there!— Deniz Civay
Gender equality is an issue that impacts all of us - 100% of the population. Science and engineering shape our daily lives, touching everything from our routines on Earth to our future ambitions on the Moon and Mars. Achieving diversity and inclusion in these fields is no simple task, but it is the only path to meaningful progress, both here and beyond our planet. By coming together with open minds and hearts, we can create a future where everyone has the opportunity to contribute and thrive.— Yulia Akisheva
