Celebrating Diversity

Inova promotes diversity through our work in promoting STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) careers and opportunities for women. Inova has represented the UK branch of WiTEC (European Association for Women in Science, Engineering and Technology) since 2001 and through this work we have collaborated on a number of European projects aimed at promoting or supporting women in STEM.

We also work with women returners who want to return to a career in STEM following a break, usually for caring responsibilities, to provide them with the tools and confidence to get back to work.

Inova promotes diversity in entrepreneurship, encouraging more women to start up in business in order to redress the gender imbalance of business owners in the UK. Through our work promoting entrepreneurship to women and BAME (Black and Minority Ethnic groups) individuals we aim to show that business is for everyone, regardless of gender, background or ethnicity.

Inova has worked on research and evaluation projects regarding diversity issues and bring this knowledge and experience to our consultancy work.

Please see below for our portfolio of completed projects in this area. We also have current UK and International diversity projects.

UK Database of Women Experts in SET (Science, Engineering and Technology)

Inova/WiTEC UK developed the database in 1997 as the first initiative of its kind in Europe to be used as a tool to raise awareness of the skills and knowledge of women in science, engineering and technology. The database contains information on key women who are considered experts within their field of SET occupations and has become an important tool for the media, governmental bodies and those working to promote the position of women in SET. visit the database
