The Women In Stem Network

A Global Platform for Connection, Growth and Opportunity.  We are building a new digital platform designed to support women working in or aspiring to enter science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Founded by Dr. Shara Cohen, and built on nearly two decades of community-building through Mums in Science, the network is a purpose-driven initiative that offers access to training, career development, and global community support.

Professional Development
Gain access to our growing library of CPD-accredited webinars. Topics include leadership, communication, career resilience, CV and interview preparation, technical STEM upskilling, and subject overviews. These resources are tailored to the real-world needs of women working across the STEM ecosystem.

Early Influence
Founding Members have a voice in how the platform is developed. Your input helps shape tools, features, and content from the outset.

Global Connection
Join a supportive, international community of women in STEM. Build relationships, find collaborators, and connect with others navigating similar challenges and opportunities.

The Women in STEM Network is open to all women working across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, including those in academic, industry, teaching, or interdisciplinary roles.

This includes:

• Early-career professionals seeking guidance and growth

• Mid-career professionals ready to lead and upskill

• Women re-entering the workforce or transitioning into STEM roles

• Senior leaders and mentors looking to support others

• Educators, communicators, policymakers, and cross-disciplinary professionals

• International members working across regions and cultures

From Kenya to Canada, Australia to Algeria — our Founding Ambassadors are STEM professionals helping us build a network that reflects the global reality of women in science.
