UK Fluids Network - Women in Fluid Dynamics UK Special Interest Group

The UK Fluids Network Special Interest Group (SIG) for Women in Fluid Dynamics UK launched in 2024. The SIG aims to support the engagement, retention and progression of women in the fluid dynamics discipline in academia and industry.

There is currently a substantial under-representation of women in fluid dynamics at all career stages, and this SIG will provide a space to network, raise the profile of women across the breadth of fluid dynamics, support career development, be a voice for the community and to funders, and ultimately be a platform to enhance wider aspects of diversity in fluid dynamics. 

 Objectives 

• Enabling a better pipeline for women in fluids  
• Facilitating support and mentoring for women in fluids across career stages 
• Enhancing visibility and connectivity of women in fluids 
• Supporting the development and progression of women in fluids  
• Providing a mechanism to raise issues and highlight best practice, and to feedback to the UK fluids community, academic institutions and to UK research funders 

The SIG is open to all who have an interest in furthering the development of women in fluids.

Join the SIG.
