At Equate Scotland, we make a positive difference for women in science engineering, technology and the built environment.

Why increasing the number of women in STEM matters

Increasing the number of women in STEM is the socially right thing to do – the jobs of the future are in the STEM industry, we must open the doors to these jobs to women, or we risk locking them out of opportunity.
