EPT Women in Science

EPT Women in Science is an initiative for women scientists working at the Department of Energy and Process Engineering (EPT) at the Faculty of Engineering. The initiative creates opportunities for networking, professional development, and mentoring. Together, we develop a meaningful community for female scientists and a strong, visible support network for women in science, engineering, and technology hosted and supported by EPT.

EPT Women in Science aims to provide networking opportunities, increase the visibility of female scientists within NTNU, and accelerate women's STEM careers in academia and industry. Our activities are designed to create added skills, confidence, and know-how at early academic career stages.

EPT Women in Science was founded in 2017 by scientific staff. As of February 2021, there are 30+ members in the intiative.

Activities

Several different activities and initiatives are organized by EPT Women in Science.

Get-Together Lunch

Around once per month, we meet for a Get-Together Lunch, usually involving a guest speaker. The speakers are mostly female professionals from academia or industry, who present their take on today’s challenges for women in science and initiate an informal discussion among the participants.

Workshops

We organize workshops to learn new skills and techniques beneficial for a successful career, e.g.:

  • 2021 - Process Communication Model: understanding how stress is appearing, can be recognized, and mitigated
  • 2022 - Rhetoric for Public Speeches: how to raise your presentations skills to the next level

Mentorship programme

Since 2021, we offer an early career mentorship program: Connecting the new generation of female Ph.D. candidates and postdocs from EPT with experienced mentors. The aim is to pair mentees with a mentor from the next academic career stage. This win-win duo shall supply know-how and support to “level up” and develop leadership skills.

Lectures and events

Lectures and events for all EPT employees to inform, discuss and accelerate the diversification of the department. For example, in September 2022, Mirjam Röder from Aston University gave a lecture on “Quality, diversity, and inclusion in academia”, where she described how she successfully led her university unit to receive a gender equality award (Athena Swan Gold Award).
