DISCOVERER ‘Women in Aerospace’ Webinar

Download Flyer

As part of the celebrations for World Space Week 2021, the DISCOVERER project hosted a webinar on 6th October.

The aim was to showcase the contribution of women to the Aero & Space sectors, how and why some of our team became interested and how they have got their current roles, as well as the range of activities and research that can require our help! We had several school groups participate and we will be uploading the talks to the website for those who could not attend the live event. The resource pack that we have created to support the webinar will be available from the same site. Watch this space!

Many thanks to all who attended and presented talks!
