The Royal Opera’s Jette Parker Young Artists Programme runs several Women Conductor courses with the vision to provide women conductors with new opportunities to develop their conducting skills and achieve the same status that men conductors have had for decades:

The Royal Opera House aims to ensure that women conductors are positioned alongside men conductors, and to ensure an equitable future for women on the podium in the classical world. These courses are provided free of charge, thanks to the generous support of Oak Foundation, and they are open to both UK and non-UK women applicants.

The Women Conductor courses are part of the Royal Opera House's commitment to promoting diversity in the arts, both on and off the stage.
