A massive thank you to everyone who came along to our International Women’s Day panel last week.

It was so inspirational to see so many people engaging with some incredible individuals, sharing their stories and lived experiences.

In celebration of the recent International Women’s Day, all students and staff are welcome to register and come along to hear Stories of Women in Science from across our College of Life and Environmental Sciences. Pizza and refreshments will be served!

This year’s Green Week - delivered in partnership with the Guild of Students - is taking place Monday 16th to Sunday 22nd March. This includes a wide range of events and activities for our staff and students across campus. Find out more here: Green Week 2026 - University of Birmingham.
