The School of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Southampton is delighted to be hosting the Conference for Undergraduate Women in Physics UK (CUWiP UK) 2021 on March 25-27, 2021.
CUWiP 2021 will be entirely virtual.
The CUWiP UK is aimed at undergraduates in physics and astronomy in the UK who identify as women, and is intended to empower and inspire delegates, giving them the confidence to express themselves and to pursue careers using their physics knowledge and skills. For full details on the background of the CUWiP in the UK, please see the Institute of Physics.
