Women in Mechanical Engineering – Fresh Forces and The Road Ahead,, Welcome & Introduction

Join us for an inspiring evening exploring the experiences of women in Danish Mechanical Engineering field, celebrating their achievements and discussing how we can create a more equitable landscape in both education and the workplace.

Engineering and STEM fields, particularly mechanical engineering, have historically been male dominated. While recent years have witnessed progress through initiatives aimed at increasing female representation, the number of women in these fields remains relatively low.

Join us for an inspiring evening where we keep the tempo of this initiatives up. We will delve into this topic from the aspect of Danish job market and educational institutions, celebrating the achievements of women in the field and hearing their inspiring stories.
