The Women in STEM Network brings together women working across science, technology, engineering and mathematics to support career development, collaboration, and professional growth.
Members join from around the world to attend events, connect with peers, share knowledge, and access new opportunities.
Below are a selection of experiences shared by members of the community.
Working with Women In STEM has been a brilliant experience.
The aim of the network is to support women and they definitely do that.
I'd highly recommend joining to help navigate the world of stem.
It was a joy to present for the Women in STEM Network with founder Dr. Shara Cohen. I encourage speakers who care deeply about empowering women in the workforce to join ranks with this global and genuinely supportive community.
Dr. Cohen and her team create an environment that is welcoming, relaxed, and highly focused on enriching women around the world. Our time together felt warm, authentic, and deeply engaging. While the network honors both academic and industry excellence, its true strength lies in connecting the hearts and minds of women in STEM.
This organization is truly living its mission. Presenting for WISN left me uplifted—I could feel the feedback loop of connection that is so rare in virtual settings today.
Thank you, Dr. Shara Cohen, Jaci Harmen, and all who attended. I look forward to being an active member with you!
It's been wonderful to coordinate with Shara and the team - very collaborative and supportive end-to-end. It started with a call to communicate essentials, followed by support on the day and efficient follow-ups, timely blog posts/newsletter entries, and video shared after the talk. It's been an absolute pleasure to be a speaker!
The Women in STEM Network provides tools that are genuinely useful. The reflection worksheets and planning templates helped me step back and think strategically about my next career move
I appreciate that the platform is not only about events but also about practical resources. The worksheets and career tools are well designed and encourage you to reflect on your professional goal
I joined the Women in STEM Network initially just to attend a few events. To my surprise, I was later invited to run a Spotlight event myself. It was a wonderful opportunity to share my work and connect with others in the community
The webinar library alone makes membership worthwhile. Being able to go back and watch recordings of previous sessions means you can learn at your own pace and revisit ideas that are relevant to your career.
The career worksheets in the members’ area are extremely practical. I recently used the ‘My Reflection Worksheet’ and it helped me think more clearly about the direction I want my career to take.
I recently used the messaging feature to connect with another member working in a similar field. It’s early days for the platform, but it’s exciting to see a genuine STEM community beginning to form
I originally joined the Women in STEM Network because the events were free and I was curious to see what they were like. I stayed because the discussions are genuinely useful and thoughtful. Having access to the full library of past events is incredibly valuable.
The free events were what first attracted me to the Women in STEM Network. I didn’t expect much at first, but the speakers are consistently insightful. The event library now means I can catch up on sessions I missed, which makes the membership even more worthwhile.
One of the most enjoyable parts of the Women in STEM Network is the Spotlight events. Hearing directly from women who have built fascinating careers in STEM is genuinely inspiring.
