WIA2018, organized by Stanford University in conjunction with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and the University of Colorado Boulder (CU Boulder), offers outstanding women doctoral and postdoctoral researchers a unique opportunity to present their research, learn about careers in academia, discuss emerging trends in aerospace engineering, and build their network.  Participants of WIA2018 will:

- Exchange views on the future of aerospace engineering through research presentations, inspiring keynote presentations, and interactive panel discussions;
- Learn how to embark on the academic job search, win research grants, maintain career-life balance as a young faculty member, and design a sustainable research program;
- Engage with industry and government professionals to learn how to spark and maintain impactful academic-industry and academic-government research partnerships.

Participants (women a year from, or up to two years following, receipt of their doctoral degree) will be selected through a competitive application process. Applicants should show strong research background and an interest in pursuing a career in research.
