WiN Ecuador is a network of professionals, primarily composed of women, working in diverse fields of nuclear energy and radiation applications.
Its members share a common commitment to communicating to society the benefits of the peaceful, safe, and responsible use of nuclear and radiological technologies, contributing to sustainable development and the protection of people and the environment. Since 2024, the chapter has maintained an active presence on social media and, in 2025, strengthened its strategic role within WiN Global Young Generation, promoting academic partnerships, international cooperation, and regional projects.
