Empowering all Women, in Space and on Earth

Leiden

Leiden is home to the International Institute of Air and Space Law, Dutch Space, as well as home to many employees of ESTEC and ESTEC Consultancy Companies.

An old and beautiful Dutch city, its wealth in both students and seasoned aerospace professionals make it a supreme networking opportunity. The vicinity to Delft also made itĀ possible to create a close link with the Women with Wings association of the TU Delft Aerospace Faculty.

The WIA-E Leiden group, founded in 2013, is very active, organizing monthly workshop dinners and lunches and participating toĀ Space related events.Ā Training courses for WIA members will soon beĀ available.

Local group coordinator:Ā Priel Manes

The Leiden local group has partnered with a number of trainers in the past. Should you be interested in some of the below courses, let us know and we will arrange for another session.
For more information, or to join the local group, please contact us.

Ongoing networking events are organised throughout the year. You can follow them at the following link:
