Book nowOverview
Join the ICE Early Careers Network (ECNet) West Midlands to celebrate International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) 2026.
This year’s theme, Engineering Intelligence, shines a spotlight on the insight, creativity, and problem‑solving skills women can bring to engineering and the critical role these play in shaping a smarter, more inclusive future.
As part of INWED, a global campaign dedicated to raising the profile of women in engineering, this event aims to inspire the next generation to consider a career in the profession. With women currently representing only around 16% of engineers in the UK, initiatives like INWED remain vital in improving visibility, representation and driving meaningful change.
During this event, female members of ICE ECNet West Midlands will share their personal journeys into engineering, reflecting on their experiences, challenges and key lessons learned.

Rethinking energy resilience in an electrified economy
As we move to cleaner, electricity-based systems, traditional energy security is being redefined. The talk explores how electrification creates new dependencies, the risks of over-reliance on one energy vector, and the engineering needed to build resilience.
