Our Mission

Laurier's Centre for Women in Science (WinS) aims to build an inclusive community for women in science through research, communication, and action.

Our Goals

  • To attract women into science and mathematical/quantitative fields.
  • To support and celebrate women’s contributions to science and mathematical social sciences.
  • To address challenges women still face in higher education and careers in science.

Why is this Important?

Achieving gender equity will:

  • Strengthen science and technology research in Canada.
  • Potentially double the highly skilled workforce in science and technology in Canada.
  • Increase the number of women leaders and role models in academia, government, and industry.
