Outstanding Women get New Year Honours
A number of Women of Outstanding Achievement receive New Year Honours.
Half a million women in the UK are qualified in either science, engineering or
technology (SET) - but less than a third work in those sectors, all of which are
suffering a severe skills shortage, set to get worse in the coming decades.
The UKRC for Women in SET works to significantly improve the participation and position of women in science,
engineering and technology occupations in industry, research, academia and public
service to benefit the future productivity of the UK and the lifetime earnings
and career aspirations of women. It is the UK’s leading Centre providing information
and advisory services to employers and organisations in the SET sectors and supporting
women entering, returning and progressing in these fields.

details and booking are here.
