This event is designed to discuss the current gender inequalities in STEMM disciplines and to explore what academia can learn from the corporate sector. The Panel's speakers will reflect on the current gender imbalance within the STEMM fields, and debate the future implications of such imbalance. Drawing on their own personal and organisational experiences, the Panelists will explore why changes are necessary and what strategies might be adopted to improve the situation. The diversity of speakers will ensure there is learning for all.
