*Programme to encourage STEM women to become leaders in climate change* Applications are currently open for the Homeward Bound programme <http://homewardboundprojects.com.au/application/>, a global enterprise that uses creative approaches to train professional STEM women who investigate the causes and consequences of climate change.
Homeward Bound aims to give researchers with leadership potential innovative tools with which they can influence the design of policies and actions, for the sustainable management of our natural resources. The year-long programme provides individual coaching, leadership training and the developing of various projects related to the effects of climate change. At the end of this training phase, participants meet in person and take part in a 3-week Antarctic expedition, which includes further workshops on leadership, strategic planning and climate change education. Applications for the Homeward Bound programme are open until *25 September*. -- Adriana Humanes www.adrianahumanes.com Participant of *Homeward Bound: * To support my participation in this program please visit my fundraising page <https://www.chuffed.org/project/adrianahumanes>.
