Women on PhD Network (WoP) is an equality network for all PhD candidates and postdocs at KTH, promoting equality, diversity, and equal opportunities at KTH and in academia. We aim to support women and individuals from minority groups who are PhD candidates and postdocs at KTH by providing a community for discussing challenges in academia and strategies to overcome them. WOP@KTH organises activities such as workshops, seminars, testimonial talks with women in academia and industry, social events, and more, both on and off campus.
