IEEE WIE DAY

Technology with Purpose: Innovate Responsibly, Inspire Globally, Lead with Integrity

Celebrate IEEE WIE Day

IEEE Women in Engineering was formally established on 29 June 1997 and since then WIE has proudly supported an ever-growing community of women in STEM and taken steps to promote change in the industry.

The 2026 IEEE WIE Day celebrations will begin on 23 June to coincide with ‘International Women in Engineering Day’ and close on 7 July.

The WIE Affinity Groups and Student Branch Affinity Groups all over the world come together to organize their  events.

 Let’s encourage each other to support the advancement of women in STEM across the globe!
