WISE Ottawa is unique in the Ottawa Region as the only women's organization that addresses the needs of scientists and engineers, both students and professionals.

WISE events offer a prime opportunity to interact with other intelligent, successful women in your area of expertise, and to share new ideas. Many friendships have developed out of these interactions.

Objectives of WISE:

• To encourage women to seek higher education and achievement in science, engineering and related fields.
• To provide a support network for women in these fields.
• To inform Canadians about opportunities for and contributions by women in these fields.
• To provide a unified, representative voice for our members on issues relating to women in science, engineering and related fields.

To meet the needs of our members, WISE Ottawa has this main chapter for professionals working in these fields, plus two student branches at Carleton University and the University of Ottawa. Belonging to one of these organizations gives you the opportunity to attend every event organized by each group.

WISE works with related organizations together to promote and support women in science, engineering and related careers, and to act as an information resource to educators, employers and government.
