Conferences are used to bring together people with common interests and discuss issues and ideas relating to a specific topic. One of the best ways to increase your network, especially if you are new to the industry, is to attend conferences and luncheons to meet other professionals in your desired sector.  Women in Renewable Energy (WiRE) is pleased to help in awarding Student Bursaries to women college or university students to attend Conferences, Luncheons, and various other events throughout the year.  These bursaries support women, Indigenous Peoples, and minorities, to attend conference sessions and seminars on current energy topics and issues, view state-of-the-art technology at exhibitions, meet professionals in the energy sector, and connect with employers to explore opportunities for internships and permanent positions.
