Women in higher education, stronger together
From the original Women's Higher Education Network to dedicated leadership communities, we bring women together across institutional, professional and career boundaries.
Women’s Higher Education Network
Connecting women across higher education since 2015.
A free national community bringing together women from across universities, disciplines, professional backgrounds and career stages.
Leadership Peer Groups
The space to think, connect and lead with intention.
Facilitated peer groups for women with shared experiences and responsibilities, creating time for sustained growth.
Community has always been at the heart of WHEN
WHEN began in 2015 as a national network connecting women beyond the boundaries of their institutions, disciplines and professional roles.
Today, WHEN Equality combines that commitment to community with career development and national initiatives tackling the systemic barriers to women’s progression.
Our communities bring women together. Our wider work helps create the conditions for them to progress.
