In 2019 WES celebrated 100 years of supporting women in engineering. We believe in

TRANSFORMING THE FUTURE

• Campaigning to influence and challenge current practice
• Lead transformation, supporting women as technical leaders
• Encouraging men to be active in inclusion and gender diversity

CELEBRATING THE PRESENT

• Connecting and celebrating women engineers and supporters through awards, events and the media

REMEMBERING THE PAST

• Our National Lottery Heritage Funded ‘WES Centenary Trail’ celebrates people and places that have played a key part of WES’ history over the past 102 years. Through a series of Wikithons and public events, we have created an online map using new and improved Wikipedia pages to showcase over one hundred years of women engineers, and to ensure their stories are available on the 5^th most visited website in the world. This was supported by a series of public events and a Centenary themed WES Lottie Doll Tour. Follow @WESCentenary on Twitter and @wes_centenary on Instagram for daily snippets from WES’s hundred years of history and notification of events and Wikithons. Log onto our Centenary YouTube Channel  and learn more about some of our discoveries.

Get involved!

WES asks supporters to join us by supporting national, regional and local events to celebrate amazing women and the amazing technology they have brought into people’s lives.
