uk resource centre for women in science, engineering and technology

As the Scottish national centre of the UKRC, the Scottish Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology is helping Scotland in meeting the challenges of sustaining a diverse and effective workforce in science, engineering, technology and the built environment.

 

The Scottish Government has embedded a commitment to tackling issues of gender inequality, such as the gender pay gap, and occupational segregation, in its plans for development, education, enterprise and lifelong learning.

 

The Scottish Resource Centre is taking forward initiatives developed in partnership with UKRC to achieve targets on addressing gender imbalance in research, education and employment. In addition, particular projects are being developed to meet needs identified in Scotland. These are described in detail in our Activities pages.

 

Based in Edinburgh Napier University, in the Faculty of Engineering, Computing and Creative Industries, the Centre has an all-Scotland remit.
