What we do
AWIS has identified three key areas where we believe we can provide support and advocacy to better the position of anyone who identifies as a woman in the sciences in New Zealand:
- Addressing bias, both conscious and unconscious
- Developing careers
- Ensuring work-life balance.
We will do this through a range of activities, including:
- Submissions to government on relevant policies
- Sharing data and research related to women in the sciences
- Hosting networking and learning events
- Offering awards and scholarships for women in the sciences.
