Society for Canadian Women
in Science and Technology

 Welcome to SCWIST, a non-profit association that promotes, encourages and empowers women and girls in science, engineering and technology.

Our members form a strong community of individuals and organisations who make this happen. When you become a member, sponsor or volunteer, you will help:

  • inspire girls to study and consider a future in science
  • boost women in both early and more advanced careers
  • enable partner organisations to support women and strengthen community relationships

Members include university undergraduate and graduate students, post docs, technicians, technologists, research scientists, professors, engineers, consultants, unemployed and retired women scientists.

Here are some great places to get started:
