Enterprising women

The Enterprising Women Programmes are designed by women for women to challenge established norms and support women in STEM to develop their strengths, thrive and make valuable contributions to society through impactful work.

Our previous participants are inspiring in ways both big and small. Many have made changes since completing the programme and are happy to share their stories to encourage more women working in STEM to step back and realise different pathways are open to them.

RisingWISE impact report

The RisingWISE programme is a pioneering Oxbridge collaboration designed to support early-career women researchers in STEM.

The programme's impact is profound, with many alumnae attributing major career shifts and increased confidence to their RisingWISE experience. It has inspired participants to pursue roles in industry, startups, policy, and academic leadership.

The strong network established through the programme continues to support participants long after the formal sessions end, fostering ongoing collaboration and mentorship. This enduring community helps participants remain connected, motivated, and supported as they navigate "squiggly" career paths that defy traditional linear progression. The broader impact of RisingWISE is seen not only in the enhanced career prospects of its alumnae but also in the systems-level change it strives to achieve within academia, industry, and society
