To build upon our success our Rising to the Top book series, IFEES and GEDC has created a virtual space for our authors and other young women engineers to unite and discuss their personal journeys and experiences together.
Our goal is to form an open, honest, and engaging space where engineers can join to learn about experiences from women around the world as they navigate and prosper in STEM fields. Each month, we will pair a set of authors from different parts of the world and an aspiring young woman in STEM to engage in an intimate discussion about the challenges and triumphs in their personal and professional journeys that have shaped the women they are today. Join us to not only see how these women Rise to the Top but how they lift while they rise.
The theme of this week’s webinar focuses on the Women in Business: Opportunities and Challenges and features the below authors from Rising to the Top.

We are honored to announce that our Rising to the Top book series has added TWO new volumes!
Rising to the Top provides an intimate and inspiring look into the experiences that have shaped the lives and careers of women engineering leaders from around the world. By openly sharing their personal journeys in these pages, the authors hope to not only inspire the next generation of engineering leaders, but also provide valuable insight into the challenges facing women engineers around the world, and the opportunities that are theirs for the taking.
