About Us

Women on Walls is a campaign that seeks to make women leaders visible through a series of commissioned portraits that will create a lasting cultural legacy for Ireland and the next generation. In February 2020, DCU joined the third chapter of Women on Walls. Accenture's Women on Walls at DCU will recognise the pioneering achievements of a group of extraordinary women or ‘trailblazers' and enhance the visibility of female leaders in STEM. For more information on Accenture Women on Walls visit Accenture.com/womenonwalls.

When completed, the new portraits will be hung in The Future-Tech Building located at DCU's Glasnevin Campus. The flagship building will be at the forefront of DCU's international reputation for excellence in science, computing and engineering disciplines.

"People we see on the walls can tell us about the past, and about the people who paved the way. But sometimes, they only tell half the story. Women on Walls began in response to the simple question, where are the women? As a graduate of DCU, it is a particular honour for me to see Accenture's Women on Walls at DCU become a reality. The initiative is grounded in a core objective of enhancing the visibility of women in STEM to inspire future generations."
