Professional Development Workshops

ESWN offers professional development workshops at major conferences around the world and at ESWN-hosted workshops throughout the United States. Most of our workshops are open to all, regardless of your gender identity; however we continue to host women-only events. If you are interested in one of our workshops and/or would like to host something similar at your institution, please contact us.

UPCOMING WORKSHOP:

Leadership Skills for Success in the Scientific Workforce

Science is rarely done in isolation; in almost any position, leadership and management skills are an important contributor to success.  Yet, these skills are seldom discussed as part of an academic education, and hardly, if ever, show up in professional trainings for scientists. 

This workshop offers a unique opportunity for women across scientific disciplines and career levels to build their leadership and management skills.

This 2.5 day workshop is intended for people who identify as women and are employed in the sciences, especially those employed in scientific agencies and scientific organizations.
