It was announced in May last year (2019) that the University of Warwick<\/a><\/strong> has won the bid to plan, organise and host the 18th International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists (ICWES18) for September 2020, however due to the current COVID-19 pandemic the event has been pushed back to 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference was previously held at Warwick (ICWES9) in 1991, ICWES18 will now return to Warwick on 1st-4th September 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference, usually held every three years, is the world\u2019s largest symposium for women scientists and engineers and will attract over 500 international delegates from businesses, organisations and universities to the Warwick campus and local region.The 17th International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists group photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conference will still follow the theme of \u2018Global Humanitarian Challenges\u2019, and will bring together participants \u2013 academics, professionals, practitioners and students \u2013 to discuss topics such as disasters resilience, renewable energy technologies, water and environmental sustainability, smart cities, resilient infrastructures, engineering and global health, and education and training in tackling societal challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All accepted papers will be eligible for inclusion in the next conference, and registration to attend the event will start in January 2021. The call for abstracts for a newly added topic \u201cPandemics\/COViD-19\u201d is also now open. The closing date is 30 September 2020 and further information is available on our website here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Professor Georgia Kremmyda, from the School of Engineering at the University of Warwick is Elected Board Director of the International Network of Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES) and Chair of the Conference, she comments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a tough decision to postpone the event for a year, however the health and safety of all is paramount. We aim to come back with a vengeance and make the event bigger than ever before!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe event will not only connect women worldwide who are currently working in STEM, but will hopefully encourage more women to pursue a career in Engineering and Sciences and to offer an insight into the excitement and opportunities available.\u201dThe 16th International Conference of Women Engineers and Scientists group photo<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gail Mattson, INWES President, adds: \u201cThe International Network for Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES) is very excited about The University of Warwick hosting the 18th International Conference for Women Engineers and Scientists (ICWES18).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEver since the Women Engineering Society of the UK hosted ICWES9 in Warwick in 1991, women engineers and scientists from around the world have been looking for opportunity to return to this historic setting.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
