Empowering Women in NTU
Women@NTU is an NTU initiative that unites the NTU community for diversity, equity, inclusion and excellence by providing a platform to exchange ideas, advance and promote women’s roles at the university and beyond.
The 2021 marks the Year of Celebrating SG Women and propels the shifting of societal mindsets and fostering a more equitable society for both men and women through inventive solutions. Beyond celebrating the contributions of women who have changed the world, we recognise the works of all women in the NTU community and aim to empower them to achieve the same.
The initiative aims to be at the forefront to advance women’s roles and provide strategic solutions that lead and propel women in academia and research endeavours at NTU.
