INWED Impact Reports
International Women in Engineering Day, brought to you by Women’s Engineering Society (WES) will celebrate its 13th year in 2026 and we’ll once again be promoting the amazing work that women engineers across the globe are doing. This year’s theme is #EngineeringIntelligence
INWED gives women engineers around the world a profile when they are still hugely under-represented, with 2025 figures indicating that in the UK only 16.9% of engineers are women. As the only platform of its kind, it plays a vital role in encouraging more young women and girls to take up engineering careers.

International Women in Engineering Day began in the UK in 2014 as a national campaign from the Women’s Engineering Society. Since then, INWED has grown enormously, receiving UNESCO patronage in 2016 and going truly global the following year.
