International Women in Engineering Day
INWED 2026
International Women in Engineering Day takes place on 23 June. It is a celebration of the amazing work of women engineers across the globe.
People who have an interest in amateur radio often work in careers related to Science, Technology Engineering and Mathematics, also known as STEM. STEM subjects can be an effective way for the RSGB to introduce amateur radio to new audiences and young people.
The theme for International Women in Engineering Day 2026 is Engineering Intelligence and is an opportunity to recognise the women engineers who solve complex challenges and help drive change.
