Welcome to

The Women In Stem Network

Building the Future for Women in STEM

About the 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 and on demand training sessions. Topics include leadership, communication, career resilience, CV and interview preparation, technical STEM upskilling, and subject overviews. Members also receive free downloadable books and career planning tools created to support professional growth. All resources are designed to meet the real-world needs of women working across the STEM ecosystem.

Early Influence

As a Founding Member, you will have a direct voice in how the platform evolves. Your insight helps shape new tools, features, and content as we develop the next stage of the Network, including the Mentorship, Collaboration, Recruitment, and Learning Hubs.

Global Connection

Join a supportive international community of women in STEM. Build relationships, find collaborators, share knowledge, and connect with others navigating similar challenges and opportunities. Founding Members are recognised publicly for their role in helping to build a more inclusive global network.

Why Join?

Who is this for?

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

  • 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
