Formed in 2016, SheCanEngineer brings together volunteers from across the professional engineering institutions and beyond to encourage and promote gender diversity in engineering by showcasing the accomplishments of female engineers, raising awareness around issues relating to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I), and promoting engineering to children.
Commenting on the charity’s support for this year’s awards, SheCanEngineer’s Laura Hoang said: "SheCanEngineer are proud to be a Charity Partner for The Engineer's Collaborate to Innovate Awards. Equity, Diversity and Inclusion are core to collaboration and innovation and we are very excited to be involved in these awards, and to celebrate the amazing achievements of the incredible engineering teams."
