About LivWiSE
Who we are
LivWiSE (Liverpool Women in Science & Engineering) is a initiative by the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Liverpool. We work closely with the University of Liverpool Athena Swan and the Equality and Diversity Networks.
LivWiSE has been created to raise the profile and interaction opportunities for women and under represented groups in all STEMM areas (Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths, Medicine and more). We provide events and opportunities for networking, and provide a forum for members to exchange experiences, ideas and contacts.
Members of LivWiSE range in age and experience, from students and academics to alumni and business people involved in STEMM; from the vast range of engineering and science subjects to health, psychology and ethics. Membership is open to everyone interested or involved in any aspect of STEMM. We also welcome corporate members.
