Events for the Academic Year 25/26
Network meetings
We meet three times during the Academic Year for our official online networking meetings which run for one hour.
For the 2025/26 year, our meetings will be held on:
- Tuesday 14 October 2025, 12 noon to 1pm
- Thursday 5 February 2026, 12 noon to 1pm
- Wednesday 10 June 2026, 12 noon to 1pm
Our events are hosted on Microsoft Teams and an agenda will be circulated ahead of each meeting. Meeting invites should be automatically sent to your Outlook calendar after you have joined the network’s Teams site. Please contact any of the network officials if you do not have access to the meeting invites.
At each meeting we aim to offer the opportunity for people to share successes and accomplishments, while bringing in guest speakers, running bitesize training sessions informed by the need of the network members, and signposting to events, opportunities and initiatives both within and outside of the university.
Additional events
The network also organises and collaborates on different events throughout the year to bring women across the university together in person. From interviews with our senior leadership team to conferences, awareness days to coffee events, we welcome your feedback to help us shape our future events.
