Kingston University’s Women In STEM Hub (WISH) INWED Event

WISH (Women in STEM Hub) is a dynamic initiative dedicated to empowering women in STEM through mentorship, networking, and professional development. We aim to foster an inclusive research culture and create leadership opportunities for early-career researchers, professionals, and PhD students. WISH also serves as a platform for cross-sector collaboration to address gender equity across STEM fields.

As part of Kingston University’s celebration of London Climate Action Week, the WISH initiative proudly highlights the contributions of women academics and postgraduate researchers working at the intersection of research and sustainability. WISH supports research aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), encouraging projects that not only advance knowledge but also create real-world impact toward a fairer, more sustainable future.

Coinciding with Climate Action Week, this celebration amplifies the voices of women researchers who are leading climate-conscious initiatives and embedding sustainability into their work. Through talks, networking, and knowledge-sharing, WISH fosters inclusive dialogue and promotes the essential role of women in driving sustainable transformation.

In celebration of International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) 2025, which takes place during the week of 23 June under the theme #TogetherWeEngineer, WISH is hosting a hybrid event on 24 June 2025 at Kingston University. This event will bring together inspiring female engineers and scientists to deliver short, impactful presentations (e.g. PechaKucha style) to a diverse audience.
