Inspiring Women
Inspiring Women for staff
Welcome to Inspiring Women Events, which are a series of occasional one-hour lunchtime talks by female speakers. These talks are then followed by interactive workshops to support your career development and/or networking. The initiative was established in order to encourage and inspire female staff at Warwick, to learn from other women, share their own experiences and to meet with colleagues they may not otherwise encounter on campus.
Staff events are open to all.
Join us for our first Inspiring Women event for 2025!
