The Princess Royal joins leading women in STEM
Summary
She met with WISE members and conference exhibitors and spoke with attendees on the history of the organisation and its mission to pioneer gender equity in STEM. The high-profile event looked at how organisations and leaders can develop an inclusive environment for women to thrive at work, ultimately enabling businesses to move closer to gender parity in the sector. WISE and expert speakers from the Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) field explored four key areas that directly contribute to this goal: allyship, progression, leadership, and programmes. The Princess Royal’s attendance highlights the significance of our mission and reinforces our commitment to supporting women in STEM – past, present, and future. We were delighted to welcome Her Royal Highness to our event, and we would like to thank her for her continued support.” Speakers included researcher and broadcaster Kate Bellingham, Leonardo’s Head of Capability Fiona Clark, and leading Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion voice Dr Zaheer Ahmad MBE, plus exhibitions from AWE, Inclusion365, STEM Learning and STEM Returners.
