What is the WITI Research Center?
The WITI Research Center is a group of services built around women and technology. Services include the Resources Guide, Technology Briefings, and Custom Research.

The Resources Guide contains data, statistics, articles, analysis, and strategies related to women working in scientific and technical fields, retention of girls and women studying in scientific and technical fields, and information about women's buying habits.

Technology Briefings, written by subject matter experts, include data and analysis of specific technologies. They are designed to get you up to date quickly and to save you time spent searching on the Web.

Custom Research services are available on a project basis. Tell us what you need and our on-call researchers will fulfill your requirements efficiently and quickly.
