Judging will shortly begin for the 2023 Top 50 Women in Engineering Awards, as nominations close on 31 March 2023 at 12 noon.

This year, the awards celebrate the women engineers who are engaged in safety and security, who work to keep us safe, wherever we are, whether at work or leisure, at home or online, and are supporting other women in engineering to do the same. The theme of safety and security is inspired by the first Secretary of the Women’s Engineering Society (WES), Dame Caroline Haslett, who invented the three-pin safety plug to protect children from electric shocks.

Last year the theme was Inventors and Innovators, and 16 professionally registered engineers and technicians were recognised.
