WOMEN LEADERSHIP IN MARINE TECHNOLOGY & SCIENCE EVENT TO BE HELD OCTOBER 13


Join MTS on October 13, 2 p.m. EDT for an interactive discussion in our Women Leadership in Marine Technology and Science webinar series - We Don't Need Saving, We Need Allies.

Men are important actors who can share the responsibility and participate actively in this agenda. Why? Because men continue to hold many of the influential decision-making positions.
