WIM3 Celebrates International Women's Day in London
On 27 February, WIM3 met in person at IOM3, 297 Euston Road in London to celebrate their 12 year anniversary and International Women's Day.
The Women in Materials, Minerals & Mining (WIM3) Group met for their annual event last week to celebrate their anniversary and on International Women's Day - especially marking the occasion of the second female President of IOM3 in a row.
WIM3 Chair Dr Margaret Wegrzyn MIMMM welcomed the attendees to the Bessemer Room with an introduction, followed by a Keynote speech by Christine Blackmore CEnv CSci FIMMM. This year's theme was 'Women making their Mark', and we invited women in STEM, materials, minerals, and mining industries to share their perspectives, experiences, and advice for others in similar fields, followed by a dynamic networking session with all the speakers and attendees present.
