WiSe (Women in Sensors)

Women in Sensors (WiSe) aims to promote globally, the presence and advancement of persons who identify as women in the technical area and professions related to sensors. It is targeted at professional women in sensing technology, from industry or academia, and will provide the opportunity to create communities to facilitate knowledge sharing and provide support through highly interactive sessions designed to foster discussion and collaboration.
WiSe has partnered with IEEE Women in Engineering (WIE) to adopt their WIE Pledge!
Through the WiSe mission, the Sensors Council is committed to fostering female leadership along with inclusive and gender-diversified panels and organizing committees at our conferences. We pledge to continue working with WIE on novel strategies to conjugate excellence with inclusion and recognition.

IEEE WIE pledge to work towards gender-diversified panels at all IEEE meetings, conferences, and events, including our own.
