Women in Electron Microscopy (WeM) is a landmark initiative, aiming to foster a supportive and inclusive community for women in microscopy. By addressing unique challenges, providing networking opportunities, and highlighting role models, the event will contribute to a more diverse and innovative field.

In many scientific fields women are still underrepresented, including electron microscopy. This event will provide a platform to increase visibility and representation of women in the field, encouraging more participation and retention. By creating a space for women to connect with peers and potential mentors we want to foster professional relationships and collaborations that might not occur in more general or mixed-gender settings.

Women in science often face unique challenges, including gender bias and work-life balance issues. This event will address these challenges through targeted discussions and workshops. By highlighting the achievements of women in electron microscopy we want to inspire attendees to aspire to leadership positions and take on more significant roles within their organizations and the field at large.

Bringing together women from diverse backgrounds and specializations can lead to new ideas, perspectives, and collaborations, driving innovation in electron microscopy.
