“International Day of Women and Girls in Science’ is an annual celebration which takes place on the 11th of February. A significant awareness day, it allows us to honour the achievements of many women and girls in science.

1. Learn about the contributions women have made to the STEM sectors Many women have become trailblazers in the world of science. On the 11th of February, it may be beneficial to conduct some research into these inspirational women or hire one of our talented speakers who have empowered thousands of professionals across the UK.
2. Encourage peers and colleagues to focus on their passions
