INWED is an annual campaign developed and coordinated by the Women’s Engineering Society (WES) to celebrate the achievements of women in engineering and inspire younger generations. Set up in 2014 as a UK-wide event. INWED went global in 2017 due to the interest and enthusiasm developed by the international audience and participants in the previous years. As the home of Royal Air Force engineering RAF Cosford became involved in the campaign in 2017.

Cosford’s Station Commander Group Captain Tone Baker said:
“Today, we are marking International Women in Engineering Day at RAF Cosford. This innovative campaign is a great opportunity to inspire young women to consider engineering as a career. At heart, the RAF is a technical Service which has been training engineers for 100 years. This is one of the many achievements which we are celebrating this year as part of RAF100. Next year, we look forward to congratulating the Women's Engineering Society (WES) as they reach their own centenary.”
