30 by 30 Initiative Expert Panel
- 30 by 30 Panel -
The 30 by 30 Panel is held every year at WES, Women in Engineering Summit, to keep track of the progression of the 30 by 30 Initiative by Engineers Canada, which is a key strategy of WES. The 30 by 30 Initiative seeks to achieve the goal, by the year 2030, that 30% of newly licensed engineers and geoscientists in Canada will be female. According to the Engineers Canada website, the national number is 20.6 % as of December 31, 2020 (an increase of 2.7% since last year, yahoo!). These panelists represent engineering and geoscience regulators, academia, government and industry.
Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Expert Panel
- EDI Panel -
The purpose of the panel is to discuss moving the needle or promoting progress, on EDI – Equity, Diversity and Inclusion – in STEM – Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics – within all institutions, with a focus on anti-racism. Panelists will highlight their experiences with pushing for systemic change, advocating for themselves and others, having tough conversations, and providing their perspective on what the future of engineering looks like amidst current social movements.
