We pay respects to their Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
As the WREN is partnered with Australian and Brazilian universities, we also pay respects to the Indigenous people of Brazil, who are the first knowledge holders of its land.
The Women’s Research Engineers Network is established to support women in engineering, with a vision for equity in the engineering research community from early to mid and senior academic levels.
The WREN provides a channel to promote international collaboration between women research engineers and increase the awareness of leaders to implement policies that support women in their academic careers.
Act as a channel for early-, mid- and senior-career women in engineering to connect with one another through fostering of international collaborations, such as grant proposals, joint publications, and co-teaching partnerships
Sustain relationships with existing international partners and understand their specific needs
Equip members with the tools to progress in their careers
Advocating for women through grassroots approaches to address factors preventing women from career advancement
We believe in creating a more sustainable and more equitable world by embracing diversity and inclusivity so women can have longer-term, more satisfying careers in engineering.
The committee of the WREN is made up of research engineers from universities around the world. The committee members specialise in different engineering disciplines and come from diverse backgrounds.
