In the belief that their full inclusion promotes greater excellence and innovation across STEM professions, we utilize a three-pronged approach to help break down barriers:
WINGS ADVANCES WOMEN EXPLORERS IN THE FIELD
WINGS WorldQuest is the only organization that awards unrestricted grants to exceptional women leading quests to advance knowledge and 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.
Since 2003, WINGS has awarded grants to 200+ women across 100+ countries and published the findings of more than 50 women-led Flag Carrier field expeditions.
WINGS CONNECTS WOMEN EXPLORERS WORLDWIDE
WINGS WorldQuest serves a growing global community of women Fellows and Flag Carriers by providing a platform through which they can network, share ideas and achievements, and garner support for their work.
WINGS INSPIRES THE NEXT GENERATION
The WINGS WorldQuest Associate Board is a group of young professional women that are passionate about supporting women in science and exploration. The AB supports WINGS’s efforts financially, including a dedicated fund to sponsor a WINGS Fellow grant per year, via fundraising events and campaigns.
WINGS sponsors outreach programs, such as seminars, workshops, and webinars, where WINGS Fellows and Flag Carriers share behind-the-scenes aspects of expeditions and stories about career paths, inspiring the next generation of intrepid problem solvers.
