Participants hold up five fingers to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the ReSHEarch Showcase and SWE NTU.
On April 13, 2026, the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) Singapore Affiliate proudly hosted its flagship event, the ReSHEarch Showcase 2026.
Under the inspiring theme “Curiosity, Courage, and Change,” the event brought together around 50 students, researchers, and industry leaders at NTU’s Innovation Port, located at the Arc learning hub inside campus, to celebrate the achievements of women in STEM.
Marking its fifth anniversary, the showcase has evolved from a pilot of a small number of participants into a vital “third space” for the NTU community. The event provides a unique platform for women to step out of the lab and share their research across a wide variety of topics. The program featured a distinguished lineup of keynote speakers who bridged the gap between academic research and global impact, sharing their personal growth experiences.
In a special tribute to the event’s milestone, the SWE NTU Affiliate founding and advisory faculty team took the stage to share the inspiring five-year journey of the SWE global affiliate at NTU, reflecting on the growth and resilience of the community since its inception. A community engagement game session was also conducted, allowing participants to share their own thoughts and visions for the future.

Moreover, the research presentation segment allowed undergraduate and postgraduate students to bring their research findings to the forefront of the NTU community. Complementing this academic exchange was a specialized resume consultation segment, organized in collaboration with woMAEn, a fellow women-focused organization at NTU. This partnership provided participants with personalized career guidance, ensuring that their technical research achievements were effectively translated into professional milestones.

By fostering these connections, the SWE NTU Affiliate continues to nurture a culture of innovation and leadership, ensuring that women in research have the support and visibility they need to thrive in their fields. As the showcase looks toward its next chapter, it remains a cornerstone for interdisciplinary collaboration and the advancement of women in engineering and beyond.
