| Cambridge AWiSE is a regional network for women in science, engineering and
technology (SET) in both industry and academia and for women who wish to return to a SET career after a break. We bring together women with
common interests and act as a source of support, information and inspiration. We aim to help women stay in SET and make the most of
their careers. We provide regular networking opportunities, information through our website and newsletter and access to the MentorSET mentoring scheme.
Cambridge AWiSE members come from all career stages, from Undergraduates to Company Directors and Professors.
Although based in Cambridge, we welcome anyone from the Eastern Region (and beyond!).
Mentoring
Cambridge AWiSE is affiliated to the national
MentorSET scheme and our members can join for free. If you would like to find out more about the
benefits of mentoring, have a look at our mentoring page and read our
article published in the June 2007 edition of the
Biochemist Magazine.

Information
Cambridge AWiSE provides links to many
other organisations and Women's networks. We produce a newsletter which
contains articles of interest to women working in SET.
The July 2010 Newsletter is out now!
Our Next Networking Meetings
Our networking meetings focus on personal development and different career options for women working in SET fields. We make a conscious effort to introduce
women to each other and provide plenty of time to chat and socialise.

Cambridge AWiSE News
 It was a Marvellous Day!
CamAWiSE Career Development Day
Our Career Day on 18th June was a fantastic success. 54 women from research and industry spent a day at Lucy Cavendish College
listening to inspirational women (including two FRS's!) and taking part in workshops with rather different themes to those
normally on offer! We will be producing a booklet with information from the day and hope to run this type of event
in the future.
The main take home messages were:
Take risks.
Increase your network.
show confidence
Make and take opportunities to present your work and become more visible.
Acknowledge your skills to yourself.
