We are Science

Our main event is the STEM WOMEN CONGRESS an annual conference in very country focused on the STEM and the diversity.

It is one of the most important event for the STEM Women community where a wide range of companies, governments and volunteers, develop different topics around who to get more girls and women in STEM and also who the STEM can help the people, the societies and the planet.

Key highlights of the SWC typically include best practices of DEI (diversity, Equality and Inclusion) in companies to attract and retain the femenine STEM talent, topics about new science and technological discoveries, and topics about the gender in STEM. The event also hosts keynote speeches and panel discussions with industry leaders, providing insights into the latest trends and developments in the STEM sectors.

The SWC serves as a platform for networking, business partnerships, and knowledge sharing within the STEM ecosystem. The event usually takes place in every country who has a chapter and there is also a global event who has been host during the last 5 years in Barcelona, Spain, although in the future it can be held in other cities. It attracts attendees from around the world, including executives, entrepreneurs, volunteers, students, teachers, and public policy makers interested in increasing the percentage of female talent in STEM.
