uk resource centre for women in science, engineering and technology

Women matter: in science, in society, in business and in policy. As scientists, educators, inventors, consumers, communicators, business developers, opinion formers, policy makers and leaders.

 

The UKRC therefore welcomed the government’s 2008 consultation paper ‘A Vision for Science and Society’.

 

Through the consultation period, we aimed to ensure that issues of gender equality are included in government policy on science and society. We held events in Liverpool, London and a virtual world, we ran an online survey and we supported our colleagues in Scotland with their event and submission.

 

We welcomed the views of men and women, whether scientists, policy makers, business representatives or members of the wider public and we were impressed at the level of interest, and the thoughtfulness and commitment of participants. We want to ensure that women - including those studying and working in science, engineering, technology and the built environment - are included in this important consultation. We look forward to continued dialogue, both with the government and with the wide range of people interested in these issues.
