IWD takes place on Sunday 8 March, and will see colleagues representing different aspects of the University at the International Women’s Day Civic Showcase in Nottingham’s Old Market Square. Joining forces with Nottingham Trent University as part of the Universities for Nottingham initiative, women teachers, researchers, administrators and technicians from across our campuses will be chatting to the public and demonstrating their work.

The event takes place in Old Market Square between 10.30am and 2.30pm – come along with friends and family to experience and celebrate the amazing women of Nottingham.

Join us on Monday 9 March for the Who are the modern women? discussion and networking event for all staff, students and alumni. Introduced by Vice-Chancellor Professor Shearer West and chaired by Professor Sarah Sharples, Pro-Vice-Chancellor for Equality, Diversity and Inclusion, this event will feature a diverse panel of the University’s inspirational women, across levels and job families.

Hear inspiring stories from University of Nottingham staff, students and alumni who have taken unusual paths, are in unusual roles or who have fantastic stories to share on what it means to them to be modern women. What advice would they give? What challenges have they faced?

Take part in round table discussions, share what it means to be modern women and go away feeling inspired.
