DCU has always demonstrated a commitment to gender equality and a passion and dedication to advancing women in STEM. The mission of Accenture’s Women on Walls is one that resonates deeply with DCU. The campaign at DCU will recognise the pioneering achievements of a group of extraordinary women and enhance the visibility of female leaders in STEM. DCU hopes that the presence of these portraits will inspire future generations of female leaders in STEM who will realise that "I have seen it and I can be it".

By honouring these women, we are telling our students and, in particular, female students on campus and in our schools, 'there are no limits'. Thanks to the extraordinary creativity of our internationally acclaimed panel of artists, these five women will continue to inspire future generations at DCU."
