 INWES Newsletter No.42

 Dear Members of INWES, 

There are only two months left in 2024, and many of us will be having very busy days towards the end of the year. We are pleased to present our October newsletter: see below for links to our latest news items and articles that feature in our website. 

As a reminder, these newsletters are sent to the key contacts at our organizational members. We would be grateful if you would share this information onwards to your own members, as a forwarded email, on your social media, or as embedded in your own newsletters.. 

Welcome to INWES Newsletter No.42! 

1. Featured INWES member: JNWES, the Japan Network of Women Engineers and Scientists In this issue, we have a new feature. In every newsletter we will introduce an INWES member organization, their aims, recent projects and activities. We hope that this will inspire new activities, and new collaborations between members. Our first such network is an INWES member in APNN. Here we share the aims of JNWES as reported at the most recent APNN Regional Conference. https://www.inwes.org/apnn-organizations-member-introduction-jnwes/ 

If you would like your own organization to feature in a future newsletter, let us know. We are looking for a very short introduction in English, links to your website and social media, and photographs. Feel free to add details in your own language! If you are looking for collaboration with other INWES members, say so!
