  • Monday, 19 June – Friday, 23 June, 2017
  • Monday, 26 June – Friday, 30 June, 2017

The pilot WiIN program will take place in Kigali, Rwanda and aims to reach 1000 female college graduates. This program is presented by Johnson & Johnson Innovation LLC at no charge to participants as part of the company’s strong global commitment to increase the number of women in science and technology careers.

Eligibility
