Women in the Human-Machine Future

Summary

KAUST's 2018 Winter Enrichment Program (WEP) featured a significant number of female speakers, highlighting the growing role of women in STEM. Events like "The Rise of Nanomachines" and "Women in STEM" provided platforms for female scientists to share their work and experiences. A "Speed Mentoring" session facilitated mentor-mentee relationships between graduate students and women in STEM at KAUST. Why it matters: Such initiatives help to foster a supportive environment for women in science and engineering within Saudi Arabia's leading research university.
