The AINSE Women in STEM and Entrepreneurship (WISE) School is targeted at student women in STEM who are about to complete their first year of studies at University. The school places an emphasis on women in STEM and their career opportunities in nuclear science and engineering.

The AINSE WISE School will include:

• High-profile guest speakers
• Networking opportunities with other Australian and New Zealand students and ANSTO researchers
• An ongoing mentorship program throughout 2021; and
