About Women in Economics Network (WEN)

WEN is linked to the Economic Society of Australia. It has been formed to promote and support the careers of female economists in Australia.

The objectives for the Women in Economics Network are to: 

• professionally connect and support the career development of women in economics
• increase the representation of women at all levels of the economics profession
• promote public contributions by female economists.
• Membership of the Economics Society and the WEN is open to anyone with an interest in economics including economists and other professionals in academia, government, business and teaching. People can join the WEN by becoming members of their local branch of the Economics Society of Australia.

Men are welcome (and encouraged) to become members of WEN and attend most WEN events.  However, some of the activities of the WEN such as the Women in Economics Retreat, mentoring program and media register are targeted specifically at women.
