| In their book 'It's not what you know, it's who you know. A guide to networking.' Dinah Bennett and Lucy Smout from Women into the Network say "Networking is an effective way of achieving your goals, meeting new people, finding out information, stimulating new ideas, checking out what's going on and identifying new opportunities. Networking can combat isolation, it boosts your own confidence, allows you to meet like minded people, access support and resources and meet inspirational role models." If you're a woman working in SET or thinking about returning to work in SET and near to Cambridge, why not come along to a Cambridge AWiSE event? If you're feeling a bit unsure about coming, email me first and I'll introduce you to some interesting friendly people! |
