We’re excited to share that the Government chose King’s to announce a new charter supporting women in research! 🔬✨

Secretary of State Liz Kendall MP joined us to launch it, tackling the barriers that too often force women to choose between building a career and building a family. Women make up over half of science undergraduates, yet hold just 31% of professorships.

We were so proud to have our Women Entrepreneurs Network (WEN) in the spotlight, with members and Spinout Accelerator founders sharing their own stories directly with the Secretary of State.
