RisingWISE: the how, when and where
This programme is open to women in STEM from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, and women from industry partners who have been invited to apply. The programme will take place over 5 days (a mixture of Fridays and Saturdays) to enable those who often find taking time for courses in the working week difficult and to help more women attend.
APPLICATIONS ARE NOW CLOSED FOR THE 2021/22 PROGRAMME.
