Our Vision
It is as easy and natural for a girl or a woman in the UK to choose and do well in physics, maths, computing, engineering or construction as it is for a boy or a man – wherever she lives and whatever her family background so that:
• Women make up a third (or more) of the UK’s science, technology and engineering workforce.
• An open, inclusive culture, transformed by a critical mass of women, draws in bright men and women from all backgrounds.
• A bigger and more diverse talent pool drives UK productivity, innovation and competitiveness.
PRIORITIES 2018 – 2020
• Get more women into computing and technology
• Enable our members to recruit women who want to return to work or a new career
• Recruitment
• Share practical solutions to improve retention & progression of women in STEM
