Every year, International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) shines a light on the incredible contributions of women to the field of engineering. At iRAP, we recognize the vital role women play in creating a safer, more sustainable future.<\/p>\n
This year’s #INWED24 theme, Enhanced by Engineering<\/strong>, perfectly encapsulates our commitment to supporting women in engineering. We’re proud to offer a training grant opportunity again this year, designed to empower and equip the next generation of female engineering leaders.<\/p>\n Women make up just over 20% of our #RAPcommunity and we are keen to see that number grow. With these grants, we hope to support more women in their efforts to save lives on roads around the world.<\/p>\n \u00a0\u2018We have been a part of the transportation system historically dependent on males, we now belong to the decision-makers, the designers, and the agents of change, let\u2019s make the transportation system inclusive to all, women, children, the elderly, and the disabled.\u2019 \u2013\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Nuria Jasira Diaz Vale (Peru)\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>Successful Grant recipient from 2021<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The grants are open to women that have a background in road-related planning, design or engineering, and have not previously taken the Star Rating Essentials and Star Rating for Designs courses.

These women are from all around the word, including Nepal, Iraq, Brazil, India, Italy, Spain, Uganda, Namibia, Rwanda, Kenya, Poland, Vietnam, Romania, Jordan, Colombia, Peru, Argentina, Tanzania and Bangladesh.<\/p>\n Some of the highlights nominated by the successful recipients on how they intend to use use their knowledge include:<\/p>\n Below is a list of all our successful recipients.<\/p>\n\n
