Anticipation is mounting for the first Women in STEM event to be held in Belfast.
Taking place this 16 October at Titanic Belfast, the city's first Women in STEM summit will celebrate the achievements and address the challenges faced by women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) fields.
The empowering event aims to foster a more inclusive and equitable STEM community as shocking statistics reveal that in Northern Ireland, only 24% of women hold STEM-related jobs.
