The WA Brain Gain

Join WiTWA and The Forrest Research Foundation as they discuss Western Australia's Brain Gain - An international perspective on attracting the best & brightest!

Meet five amazing researchers from various parts of the globe who have chosen Western Australia (WA) as their base for projects with the potential to change the world. Find out why they chose WA, their work and what we can do to keep them in WA as well as attract more like them.

Tuesday October 16, 2018, 5:30 PM  8:00 PM at Forrest Hall, UWA.

Thanks to support provided by the Department of Communities for the WiTWA TECHXchange event series in 2018 we are able to offer a number of free tickets to women who are currently studying (part-time or full-time), unemployed or looking to transition into a role within the science or technology sectors. A limit of 2 tickets per person applies. If unsure whether this applies to you, please email alana@witwa.org.au.

Nominate & join us for our '20 in 20' Awards

Did you know that 2018 marks 20 years since WiTWA was founded? We hope you’ll agree that’s worth celebrating.
 
We are marking this historic moment with an Awards night 20 years in the making to recognise those who have embodied our mission: our champions for diversity and equality for women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Innovation in Western Australia.

Whether that’s by breaking new ground in their career, or by mentoring women and encouraging them to pursue their non-traditional work, or by speaking out and acting against discrimination, we want to formally recognise the impact these unsung heroes have had and thank them for their contribution.

The event will be cocktail style with approximately 200 people attending, an
approach where the award giving need not take hours to complete. This will be a fun, celebratory night, recognising outstanding women and our 20 year anniversary. We hope you will be among them! Public Voting is NOW OPEN!

Join us on the night.  Find out more... or book your ticket.

Ever been impacted by Comparison Bias? Measuring yourself and your ability to compete professionally by comparing your qualifications to others? The consistency of finding flaws, rather than valuing your assets, can be debilitating. Say "no more" and nominate yourself for our 2018 Women in Technology WA Inc. (WiTWA) 20in20 Awards. With no selective categories, it will take you just 20min to submit your entry via www.witwa.org.au/20in20awards/
One way to stand out in a crowd is to win, or be nominated for, an Award. Marie Turner, Executive Director of Mitsubishi Australia quite rightly declared that "women shouldn't wait for that tap on their shoulder". Use your Sunday evening to gift yourself some courage and nominate to be part of the 2018 Women in Technology WA Inc. (WiTWA) 20in20 Awards. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain!
