WISE Membership

 

Build a better workforce.

An inclusive STEM sector doesn’t happen by chance. It’s built intentionally, by organisations willing to challenge the status quo and act on evidence.

Women into Science and Engineering (WISE) membership supports organisations at every stage of their gender equity journey, from early action to sector leadership.

If you’re ready to make real progress towards an equitable workforce, to challenge the status quo or dismantle systemic barriers, you’ve found the right partner.

Why organisations choose WISE

WISE membership isn’t just a badge. It’s a partnership that turns ideas into action. 

We work with organisations to unlock opportunity for women in STEM and engineer workplaces which attract, retain and develop the great talent crucial to making organisations successful.

We drive real change through:

  • Evidence that reveals what’s really happening 
  • Expertise tailored to the realities of STEM workplaces 
  • Partnership that turns insights into action.

Our membership is designed to create impact at scale, across leadership, managers and the wider workforce.

How WISE membership delivers impact

At the heart of both membership packages is the WISE Gender Equity Framework, a robust, evidence‑based model designed specifically for STEM organisations. 

Used annually, it helps you: 

  • See clearly what’s working — and what isn’t
  • Build credible evidence for strategy, reporting and accountability
  • Track progress and sustain momentum over time

Members come together each year at our Measuring Progress Event to compare insight, share learning and understand what’s driving real impact across the sector. 

Because progress accelerates when it’s shared. 

More than membership.

A partnership for progress.

We work alongside organisations ready to act, asking the hard questions, letting the evidence do the talking, and supporting change that lasts. 

Whether you’re building foundations or embedding equity at the highest level, we’ll meet you where you are and help you go further.
