WISE
The WISE Campaign is run by Marie-Noëlle Barton.
Marie-Noëlle Barton, Director of the WISE Campaign, works with educationalists,
employers, Government departments, politicians and the media, to spread the word
about Women Into Science and Engineering. She also oversees the dedicated WISE
Campaigns in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.
Marie-Noëlle is regularly interviewed on radio and TV on the issue of WISE,
and gives lectures in both the UK and at international events. She is co-author
of work aimed at parents and primary school teachers, urging them to encourage
girls into science and engineering.
Prior to her work at WISE, she worked as a team leader careers adviser in both
the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames and Humberside, where she was in charge
of a work experience scheme for the whole of South Humberside. She has also taught
languages in secondary schools and to adults.
Outside her WISE activities, Marie-Noëlle has sat on a number of committees,
most recently the Stewart Committee, which looked at the safety of mobile phones.
In 1999, she was awarded an MBE in the Queen’s Birthday list, and an Honorary
Doctorate of Technology by the University of Staffordshire for her work in attracting
more women in the engineering profession. The same year she was also the winner
of the London ‘Woman of the Year’ award for her achievements in promoting
women’s issues.
Marie-Noëlle, who has dual French and British citizenship, was educated
at Nice University - France.

Girls Get SET
Girls Get SET is co-ordinated by Janet Rougvie, Access Development Manager at
Heriot-Watt University, in consultation with a Steering Group comprising representatives
from each of the three other partner institutions – the University of Edinburgh,
Napier University and Queen Margaret University College.
Janet has had a keen interest in widening participation in its broadest terms
for many years, and currently manages a range of wider access projects at Heriot-Watt
University from school-related programmes through to FE College links. All of
these experiences have fuelled her belief that potential is frequently overshadowed
by lack of awareness and limited expectations, and with the right encouragement
and support at the right time, this does not have to be the case. As such she
sees Girls Get SET as a real ‘light-bulb’ experience which takes
gender myths out of the shadows, and switches girls on to a whole world of new
opportunities. |
