EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY WOMEN IN STEM
As a society, we pride ourselves in organising events which are all about inclusivity, not exclusivity, and which cater to a wide range of interests throughout the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths.
We have a multitude of events ranging from Hackathons, lectures and discussions and escape rooms!
So hopefully there is something to suit everyone!
