EECS Women Higher Education Network (WHEN)

EECS Women in Higher Education Network (WHEN)helps establish a strong community for individuals identifying as women and provides opportunities for exchange among academics at all levels – from PhD students to research assistants, postdoctoral fellows, to academics. The network contributes to advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion, which is particularly relevant for the fields traditionally underrepresented by women, such as computer science and engineering.Our goal is to create an environment for open communication and collaboration, enabling our community to address current challenges and potentially influence policies and practices within EECS and the Science and Engineering Faculty at Queen Mary University of London. The network also allows for more visible role models and mentors, particularly benefiting early-career academics.
