Women in Pharma
Women in Pharma® (WIP)
a new regional and supraregional initiative of ISPE D/A/CH
The pharmaceutical industry offers women a wide range of attractive career opportunities:
- Research and development of new drugs
- Technical professions in pharmaceutical production
- Production and quality assurance
- Sales and marketing
- Engineering and process optimization
- Leadership positions across all levels
With women making up almost 40% of the workforce and one in three managers, the pharmaceutical sector is significantly more female than other industries.
Women in Pharma®: Support and Network
The ISPE initiative Women in Pharma® specifically supports women in the pharmaceutical industry through:
- Professional development
- Networking Opportunities
- Mentoring-Program
Our aim is to support women at all hierarchical levels in developing their professional potential. Women in Pharma® is an inclusive forum for networking and collaboration on technical and professional topics. We expressly welcome the support and participation of men.
Women in Pharma® ist an international Initiative of ISPE. Our goals and priorities are shared between the global ISPE communities.
Our Mission
ISPE Women in Pharma® provides women in the pharmaceutical industry a forum for connecting and collaborating on technical and career advancement topics. Women in Pharma’s inclusive community leverages a network of mentors, role models, and resources across all levels to foster balanced professional success.
Our Priorities
Together we will pool our resources, open our homes and offices, and lean on each other to challenge, grow and develop women in the biopharmaceutical space. We will sit around co-mingled tables with men and women from multi-cultural backgrounds with varying degrees of experience and educations to discuss challenges within the workplace, how mentors can help drive our careers and much more. We will present technical topics on podiums, speak at round table discussions, and get creative.
We plan to start a Women in Pharma podcast series in second quarter and believe our volunteers and ISPE staff will drive change within the industry over the next year. We are always looking for volunteers to help reach our goals and grow our community of professionals seeking to evolve and design the future of leadership.
Our Goals are simple
1. Raise $25,000 for the ISPE Foundation to help professionals of all ages, cultures, and genders to embody the vision and spirit of ISPE with scholarships for educational events and travel grants.
2. Develop and sustain 20 mentor circles globally in 2020 to help 400 women and men grow and develop in their career paths. We would like to discuss topics that create an environment for our members to make themselves vulnerable and break down barriers for the next level of professional and personal success.
