Why are WiNUK Hosting This Event?
Our second WiNUK Awards event aims to highlight historically underrecognised female-identifying leaders and rising stars, to increase their visibility for funding, hiring and promotion, and inspire others, towards balancing representation in neuroscience leadership.
Additionally, we aim to reward people of any gender identity who have made significant positive contributions to the neuroscience community, whether through sex/gender research in neurological health, mentorship, science communication, championing diversity in STEM, and/or volunteering for WiNUK.
​
These activities, often led by women and other minoritised identities, provide significant benefits to neuroscience workplaces and society, but continue to be undervalued: reduced to ‘soft skills’ and overlooked in recruitment and promotion.
We want to change this narrative.
