At WOM&AN, we actively support initiatives that directly contribute to the professional growth of women in our community – including our younger members who are still pursuing their studies and preparing to enter the world of finance.

For our student members, few opportunities carry as much tangible career value as the CFA Institute Research Challenge. That’s why we strongly encourage you to take part in this program.

This is not just another competition. It’s a unique chance to work with mentors who will treat you not as students, but as future colleagues — individuals ready to grow, contribute, and perform in high-pressure environments. With a 20-year legacy, this challenge is recognised by employers in Poland and worldwide as a mark of excellence and commitment. We are also proud to share that WOM&AN is a partnering organisation in the current edition of the competition, supporting the next generation of female finance leaders.

This edition’s global final will take place in Hong Kong, further underscoring the international prestige of the Challenge.

If you’re serious about building a future in finance, this is a step worth taking. You will expand your network, develop hands-on analytical and presentation skills, and — most importantly — gain confidence in your professional abilities.
