Mission

WINGS recognizes and supports women leaders making important discoveries in science and exploration.We award unrestricted grants to WINGS Fellows to support their quests to find solutions to global problems through bold research and exploration projects. Grants and honoraria are awarded to Women of Discovery Awardees, Flag Carriers and speakers.We serve a growing global community of Fellows and Flag Carriers by providing a platform through which they can network, share achievements and garner support for their work.Our various events, such as our Women of Discovery Annual Gala, Explorer Talks, and Global Explorers Forum, celebrate and showcase the groundbreaking expeditions of these women scientists and explorers, whose discoveries advance scientific inquiry, stimulate conservation, and lead to better understanding of our world.By showcasing the work of our intrepid scientists andexplorers we are inspiring young girls to follow a career path that they may never have thought possible.
