Advancing
Female Talent in STEM
Ingenia is an initiative
by the School of Engineering and Sciences at Tecnológico de Monterrey that aims to strengthen the participation of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
Our purpose is to actively integrate a gender perspective across all areas of the School—from academic training to research and industry collaboration. We work to raise awareness about the importance of equal opportunities and to support women in their academic, professional, and leadership journeys. To achieve this, we:
Conduct research with a gender lens
We promote research that incorporates a gender perspective to address inequalities and create inclusive solutions. Through interdisciplinary collaboration, we foster innovation that uplifts diverse voices and improves outcomes for all communities.
Advise on equity for students, faculty and staff
We support our academic community with guidance on equity, inclusion, and gender-sensitive practices. Our goal is to build a fairer environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and empowered to reach their full potential.
Build partnerships with equity-driven allies
We collaborate with national and international networks that advocate for gender equity in STEM. These partnerships amplify our impact, connect us to shared goals, and open new paths to transform the future of science and engineering.
Committee ingenia
Ingenia fosters women’s leadership in engineering and science through a multidisciplinary committee that drives strategies for equitable participation with a strong gender perspective.
From academic support to institutional outreach, Ingenia’s committee is made up of teams that design, promote, and connect initiatives to strengthen women’s skills, visibility, and recognition in STEM. Their work ranges from mentoring and building alliances to organizing events and promoting gender-focused research, all aimed at shaping a more inclusive and equitable scientific community.
Committees & Programs
Ingenia brings together committees and programs focused on driving cultural change, empowering women in STEM, and creating equal opportunities through mentorship, research, collaboration, and institutional action.
Our committees and programs work in synergy to promote gender equity in engineering and science. Each one plays a unique role—designing strategic actions, mentoring women at all stages, forging alliances, and amplifying the visibility of female talent. Together, they build a supportive ecosystem that fosters leadership, strengthens participation in decision-making spaces, and inspires future generations of women in STEM.
