✨ About the Project
For over 25 years, Women in Cognitive Science (WiCS+) and its regional chapters, WiCS+Europe and WiCSCanada+, have brought researchers together through conferences, mentoring initiatives, networking events, workshops, and professional development activities.

This research project aims to explore the global WiCS+ network, understand the professional relationships it has fostered, and document its impact on the cognitive science community.
🔍 What Are We Investigating?
