As part of the government’s strategy and commitment to clean growth and net zero carbon emissions by 2050, UKRI’s £66m Transforming Foundation Industries (TFI) Challenge, delivered by Innovate UK, EPSRC and ESRC brings together the metals, glass, paper, ceramics, cement and bulk chemical industries to address environmental impact and global competitiveness.

 

The TFI Challenge are partnering with STEMAZING to launch a mentoring programme for Women Innovators in Foundation Industries (WINFI), designed to foster career growth, increase confidence, and build lasting networks for women and allies within the foundation industries. This programme is tailored to address the current gender imbalance in leadership roles and create a supportive talent pipeline.
