Based on the past mentoring programs and experiences, Women STEM-Up project has developed a mentoring program for female undergraduate students as mentees, and university staff and women STEM professionals as mentors. The project partners have now launched a call for mentors: women STEM professionals, scientists, entrepreneurs, and innovators who are interested or involved in supporting women in STEM fields. Whoever is committed and passionate about women staying in STEM fields and look for ways to inspire and support them, this is a great opportunity.

When they do work in STEM, women earn 85% or less of what men are paid, and they are more likely to be the target of gender-based violence and sexism than women in other fields. Virtually no progress has been made in the past two decades.
