Women's Energy In Transition - Polish Edition

We support female talents in the energy sector!


4th Edition of the Women’s Energy in Transition Program – Polish Edition

Why this program?

The energy sector is still characterized by significant inequality. Data from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) show that women hold only about 20% of all jobs in energy production and distribution and less than 15% of managerial positions. In the renewable energy sector, the share of women is higher – approximately 32% – but almost half of them hold administrative roles, not technical or engineering ones.

The latest data from the Global Gender Gap Report 2025 (World Economic Forum) confirms that gender equality still requires long-term action:

  • It will take another 123 years worldwide to achieve full equality between women and men (compared to 132 years last year).
  • In Poland, this time has shortened from approximately 57 to 49 years, placing us in 40th place in the rankings – closing the gender gap by 73.6%.

According to data from IRENA, positions requiring engineering or management education are still predominantly held by men (72%), with 85% of men holding managerial positions.

The Women’s Energy in Transition program was created to fill this gap and support women in achieving technical and decision-making roles in the energy sector.

About the Program

The Women's Energy in Transition Award – Polish Edition recognizes female students and graduates of energy-related fields for the best theses dedicated to energy transition issues. The program aims to support women's careers in the energy sector and promote equality in STEM fields.

The program was launched in 2022 in collaboration with the Silesian University of Technology.

In this year's edition, we are particularly excited about theses addressing solutions supporting decarbonization, energy efficiency in industry and heating, the use of recovered energy, biogas, biomass, and methane from mine drainage. Topics related to innovations in cogeneration and trigeneration are also welcomed. The modernization of energy installations can also provide inspiration.

Who can participate?

Bachelor's and master's degree students from Polish universities who defended their engineering or master's theses between January 1, 2024, and November 30, 2025.
