International Women's Day events at UCL

The UCL Institute for Women's Health is leading the way with a week-long programme of free activities, including an 'in conversation' session with Laura Bates, founder of the Everyday Sexism project, and an art exhibition exploring the presence and absence of women at UCL. The full programme can be found at www.uclwomensday.org

UCL Arena is sponsoring UCL Inspiring Women on Tues 8 March, a celebration of female achievement. Introduced by UCL President and Provost, Prof Michael Arthur, high-profile speakers will be taking to the stage to offer their personal reflections on their career paths - and to prompt the audience to think about their own. The event will end with a whistle-stop tour of some 'infamous' UCL women alumni. 

The UCL Women group is delighted to be hosting Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell to deliver a flagship lecture on Thurs 10 March: 'Women in STEM - at home and abroad' to be followed by a drinks reception.

Finally, Lunch Hour Lectures continue the theme with two free talks on 'Reproduction without sex' (Tues 8 March) and ovarian cancer screening (Thurs 10 March) - no pre-booking is required.
