About the Women in the EMS SIG

The Women in the EMS (WEMS) Special Interest Group focuses on women’s issues within the EMS as well as broader issues that face many women in scientific careers.

The mission of WEMS is to:

• Create opportunities for networking and mentoring for women.
• Encourage leadership and career development.
• Encourage and support representation of women throughout the society and within the scientific community.

During the EMS meetings, WEMS provides a forum for discussions focusing on general issues that affect not only women but which are relevant to the general membership of the EMS. And, as an EMS Special Interest Group (SIG), we develop ideas for symposia and topics to be considered by the EMS program committee for upcoming EMS meetings.

If you are interested in becoming involved either as a committee member or would like to give your input into programming ideas for SIG discussions or EMS program ideas, we encourage any EMS member to join the WEMS special interest group. ALL are welcome to attend our SIG meetings and WEMS hosted EMS meetings sessions!
