International Women in Engineering Day, brought to you by Women’s Engineering Society celebrated its 12th year in June 2025. This year’s theme was #TogetherWeEngineer.
International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) gives women engineers around the world a profile when they are still hugely under-represented in their professions. As the only platform of its kind, it plays a vital role in encouraging more young women and girls to take up engineering careers.
In support of INWED, on social media we shared stories of cutting-edge research led by women engineers from across UKCRIC member institutions. You can view these projects below.
