Professional Groups

The Women in Physics Group

We are a Professional Group of the Institute of Physics:

• We encourage the participation of our members in all activities of the Institute.
• We provide support to members in progressing their careers by encouraging their professional development.
• Our committee aims to reflect the varied careers of women physicists in industry, commerce, academia, teaching and research.
• The Group organises an annual meeting with discussions of topical interest.
• A regularly produced newsletter keeps members informed.

Our current concerns include:

• education at primary, secondary and tertiary level
• women in research and academia -especially those on short term contracts
• career breaks
• career management workshops
• networking in the UK and Europe

The Women in Physics Group welcomes new members as well as suggestions for future events.

Come and join us and help in our discussions.
