Women in Electrical Engineering 2025

Why do women choose the electrical engineering research field? What inspires them, what has their education offered them and how do they stand in society today?

We invite four inspiring women to share their views on achieving success, career plans,  and perhaps changing this traditionally male world into one with more women. As soon as we know the names of these Electrical Engineering ladies, we will publish them on the KIVI website.

This event is organised by the Electrical Engineering Department (EEMCS) in collaboration with KIVI Students Twente (KST) and KIVI Network Female Engineers (NVI). We hope to welcome (Ph.D.) students, young professionals, career tigers, alumni, and everyone who cares about Electrical Engineering.
