[diversity] WISE : gender balance in science, technology and engineering

Hi,

I've just heard about the "WISE", Women into Science and Engineering, an
organisation in UK:

"the campaign for gender balance in science, technology and engineering,
from the classroom to the boardroom"

https://www.wisecampaign.org.uk/

They say: "The correlation between improved diversity and stronger
business results is striking. "

Among other things, they offer webinars.

This one is for free / available to everyone:

Wed, Sep 9, 2020 12:00 PM - 12:45 PM CEST

"WISE Young Professionals Board, a group of diverse, relatable
professionals who lead initiatives to inspire, engage & advocate for the
next generation of STEM.  We also support, develop and challenge the
WISE Campaign.

With applications for the 2021 board opening in September we wanted to
introduce you to a few of us, share what we do, and answer any questions
you may have. "

And on 23rd September (only for members) :

WISE’s Ten Steps programme is a cultural transformational framework
created for WISE Members. The programme includes a diagnostic to
establish your starting point and measure progress...

Etc.
