WISE Annual Reports

We made a real impact this year, and had cause to celebrate as across the UK for the first time there are over 1 million women working in core STEM. Over 1 million different stories of success, of impact on our society and of potential for the future. But there is still much work to do, as these women still only represent 24% of the workforce.

We’re delighted to share our annual report from 2018/19. Our focus was innovation, and the report shows some great progress and achievements. Our thanks to all of you; members, sponsors and supporters, for your active commitment to improving gender balance across STEM. We look forward to continuing to work with you all towards our goal.

As we look back on 2017/18 the rallying cry of ‘Deeds not Words’ resonated with us all. Our thanks to all of you; members, sponsors and supporters, for your active commitment to improving gender balance across STEM from classroom to boardroom. Our Annual Report shows some of our key achievements from this year, and we look forward to building on these with you into the future...
