Dear IEEE WIE Community,
As we step into another exciting month, I’m thrilled to share some of the incredible opportunities and events happening at IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE). From global competitions to prestigious awards and flagship conferences, there’s something for everyone to engage with, learn from, and contribute to.
This Month’s Highlights

IEEE WIE Family Cares Grant Program
WIE is excited to now begin accepting applications until 24 March 2025 for the 2025 IEEE WIE Family Cares Grant Program. This grant program, made possible by the IEEE Family Cares Grant Fund of the IEEE Foundation, was established to promote attendance at IEEE conferences, especially by persons whose financial obligations to care for family members may prevent their attendance, by covering the cost of their family care responsibilities (children, seniors, disabled) up to $1,000 USD.
IEEE WIE Awards – Recognizing Excellence
It’s time to honor the outstanding contributions of our peers! The IEEE WIE Awards celebrate individuals making a significant impact in engineering and technology. Nominate deserving candidates and help recognize excellence within our community. Nominations can be submitted until 31 March 2025.
