Women in STEM

Together, we strive to build an inclusive environment in Physics that enables everyone to reach their full potential, feel supported, and be recognised for their contributions in our research, teaching and service. We seek to engage, inspire and increase the number of female students and staff in STEM subjects. We are committed to advancing women's careers in science, technology, engineering, maths and physics in higher education and research.

Here we showcase the research and achievements of a selection of inspiring women scientists to highlight the critical role women have played in STEM.
