We have launched two exciting initiatives focusing on women innovators and we would so appreciate your help in sharing this news with your professional networks!<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>1. Skills for successful STEM innovators<\/b><\/span>
\nWe have launched a global survey to determine which skills women in STEM need to develop and commercialize STEM innovations. Please let us hear your voice by <\/span>taking the survey yourself<\/u><\/span> and<\/span> sharing it with your personal and professional networks<\/u><\/span>! <\/span>
\n<\/span>
\nWhat will we do with the data? We are planning to launch a global initiative, <\/span>What Women Can Do<\/i><\/b><\/span>, featuring webinars, roundtables, and training to provide women in STEM with the skills to develop and commercialize STEM innovations. <\/span>
