The UK Resource Centre for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology has announced exciting plans to launch a photographic exhibition to celebrate, congratulate and highlight women of outstanding achievement in SET. The exhibition is to be launched on International Women’s Day, 8 March 2006, at the British Library as part of the UKRC’s second annual conference, which will explore issues that impact on women reaching senior management and leadership positions. Rt. Hon. Tessa Jowell, Minister for Culture, Media and Sport, and Minister for Women, has been approached to open the exhibition as this amalgamates her culture and women’s ministerial role. During the inaugural year the exhibition will feature six photographic portraits of women who currently work in scientific careers. These six women will be selected through a nomination process which is now open. We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to nominate women (or yourself) who you would like to see included. All women working in science, engineering and technology or built environment occupations in the UK are eligible. If you would like make a nomination you simply need to complete the linked nomination form at http://tinyurl.com/78hu7 In doing so you will be asked to indicate how you/your nominee is making a significant national or regional contribution to science, engineering or technology in one of the following three categories:
