Project description

During this year’s jubilee edition of the Energy Congress, in line with the tradition of previous years, we will celebrate the Women’s Energy Award. For the fourth time, at the evening gala of the Congress, we will honour women of the energy industry on one stage, whose attitude and actions drive dynamic development towards energy transformation.

“Women’s Energy is an initiative for experts, leaders, women of science and business in the energy sector. “With the Women’s Energy Award”, we want to highlight the presence of women and recognise their role in the development of the energy economy in the country.” – says the initiator of the project, Beata Wlodarska – Executive Director of DISE ENERGY.

How did the ‘Women’s Energy’ Award initiative come about?

The ‘Women’s Energy’ Award is not just a statuette and an award at the Congress evening gala. The selection of the finalists involves an analysis of the many months of work and activity of women who are setting the energy transition in motion and whose work and personality are bringing new quality to the entire sector. We wish to highlight the presence, contribution of women and recognise their role in the development of the energy economy in the country. The success of our Laureates inspires other women to reach for their own professional goals and gives them the courage to act and build the future of the Polish energy sector.

What is the ‘Women’s Energy Award’ all about?

As part of the “Women’s Energy Award”, we are creating a publicly accessible form where female candidates from the energy industry can be nominated. All you need to do is briefly introduce the candidate, justify your choice and indicate her most important achievements.

Candidates must be submitted by the deadline, which will be available on our social networks. The chapter will then begin its work of selecting the winners. Once the list of finalists for the Audience Award has been announced, everyone has the chance to support their favourite and vote for her. Details of the competition and the applicable deadlines are contained in the Regulations of the Women’s Energy Award.

Good luck to all the ladies and see you at the 10th Energy Congress!
