Minister for Education and Skills Richard Bruton, T.D. officially launched I Wish 2017 on 6 October in Dublin.

I Wish (Inspiring Women in STEM) is a hugely successful partnership initiative encouraging young women to pursue careers in STEM (science, technology, engineering and maths). Arup is delighted to continue our support of I Wish in 2017.

I Wish combines the power of industry, academia and the public sector in order to inspire and encourage young women to pursue careers in STEM. Set up in 2014, this year the I Wish conference and exhibition is expanding nationally to engage with more than 4,000 secondary school girls. The events will take place in Cork on 9 and 10 February and in Dublin on 13 and 14 February 2017.

“

At Arup, it's really important to us to encourage the future generation to pursue careers in STEM. Engineering remains a typically male-dominated industry and we are very happy to support this initiative to make more females aware of the possibilities available to them by working in STEM.
” Liam Luddy Liam Luddy Chief Operating Officer Europe

I Wish is an exciting and important initiative, one which Arup staff have thoroughly enjoyed being involved in over the past two years.

Arup is looking forward to I Wish 2017, where talks, demonstrations and interactive hubs will enable staff to engage with and inspire the female secondary school students.
