About our mission

INWIC is an international network of organisations that promotes the role of women in the refrigeration, air conditioning and heat pump (RACHP)
sector, contributes to improving the professional careers of women working or studying in cooling, promotes best practices including those related
to the environment, and inspires future generations of women to join this important sector.

INWIC seeks to achieve these objectives through the individual and joint activities of the partner organisations, awareness raising, information
sharing, and the provision of an online educational and mentoring platform.

INWIC seeks to enhance and complement, and not to replace or duplicate, the activities of the partner organisations in this area.
