We are pleased to invite you to the next Annual General Meeting of the University Women of Europe inRome which will be combined, as usual, with a two day conference. 21-24th of June 2018. The conference in Rome, Italy brings together University Women from all over Europe in a wonderful and inspiring environment. The Conference theme is Women in Stem professions, Challenges - Support - Education. We aim to focus on how to create opportunities and support systems for women in STEM professions. What challenges do they face? How can we combine the technological innovations with empowerment of women and girls? These innovations demand different skills and give different opportunities on the employment market. Women still seem to choose humanistic studies. How do we improve the working conditions in STEM professions, so more women will chose STEM studies and professions. How do we create equal opportunities for women and girls in a world that changes so rapidly? Those questions and more you will be able to discuss at the UWE Conference 2018 inRome. As a special event we will present the material on the Pay Gap in several countries on Saturday morning 23rd of June. We are looking forward to meeting you to exchange ideas and create energy and commitment. The conference is open to all members of the University Women of Europe and their friends.
