The Arab Network for Women In Science and Technology (ANWST) is a new institution and it has to face formidable odds in a region which is markedly patriarchal. The Women In Science conference hopes to reinforce ANWST in its efforts to expand the space where the talents of women will flourish in their chosen domains specially in the areas of science, mathematics and engineering. ANWST will hold a separate meeting after the conclusion of the Women in Science conference. The meeting will be attended by:
- Rafia Ghubash
- Mashael Bint Moh’d
- Rose-Mary Boustany
- Haya Al Saud
- Lihadh Al- Gazali
- Nagwa Meguid
- Farida Allaghi
- Rokhsana Ismail
The event will take place on Wednesday, 24 October 2007, from 17:30 pm to 19:00 pm.
