Hundreds of trailblazing women have been recognised in the annual #NorthInnovationWomen list, published today.

To mark International Women’s Day, the Northern Health Science Alliance (NHSA) and N8 Research Partnership have published a list of more than 350 innovative women who are excelling within their chosen fields.

The #NorthInnovationWomen campaign provides an informal and supportive platform for women to be acknowledged and celebrated. The social media campaign relies on Twitter users to suggest women they want to see included in the list – there are no strict criteria or voting systems.

This year’s list features around 358 women who are achieving great things and inspiring those around them across the North of England, as recommended by our Twitter followers.

Hannah Davies, NHSA Head of External and Public Affairs, said: “As we join people across the world celebrating International Women’s Day, we’re proud to present North Innovation Women 2021 which recognises some truly inspirational women. When we first launched the campaign three years ago, our aim was to start a conversation on social media that allowed women to celebrate each other’s achievements and successes. Little did we know how much the idea would be embraced by people across the North and that it would grow into what it is today.

“We are thrilled with the response this year and to see so many people share their support and appreciation for women working in innovation. Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the campaign and well done to all the amazing women in the list.”

Dr Annette Bramley, Director of the N8 Research Partnership, said: “We are delighted to see the regional response to the North Innovation Women campaign and to be partnering with the NHSA again on such a positive and widespread celebration of our talent in the North.

“Taking the opportunity to champion women in innovation as part of International Women’s Day is a great way to share our message of inclusivity, diversity and collaboration. It is this working culture which will continue to drive better research and innovation in our region, helping N8 and the NHSA to deliver incredible impact across the North, the UK and beyond.”

International Women’s Day is a global day, marked annually on March 8, celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. It also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Find out more about the day and how to support, at: https://www.internationalwomensday.com/
