Why do women choose to make the Electrical Engineering research field their profession? What inspires them, what did their education offer them and how do they stand in society today?

We have invited three inspiring women who will give their vision of achieving success, career plans, and maybe change this traditional men's world into a world with more women. 

This event is organised by the Department of Electrical Engineering (EEMCS) in cooperation with KIVI Students Twente (KST) and KIVI Netwerk Vrouwelijke Ingenieurs (NVI). We hope to welcome (Ph.D.) students, young professionals, career tigers, alumni, and everyone who cares about Electrical Engineering.
