BAU & women’s role in scientific research
17-10-2019
The Deanship of Graduate Studies and Research at Beirut Arab University (BAU) yesterday hosted the ‘Dardasha Talks’ event (https://bit.ly/2FJT3iN), which aims at highlighting the role of women in scientific research. During the event, the dean of graduate studies and research, Hania Naccache spoke about the importance of emphasizing the role of women in scientific research, in addition to their role in society and their positive impact on the economic, social and political life. Likewise, BAU president Amre Adwi stressed the collaboration with various stakeholders to this end. For her part, Dr. Tamara Zein, DAWREK’N director, underlined the need to support this role of women, particularly PhD holders in order to reach higher academic posts and to use their scientific potentials. She cited a statistical study by the Observatory which showed that female PhD holders outweigh men with the same degree, whereas the number of women is way less than men in higher academic ranks (such as dean or president), and that men are dominate these positions. At the closing of the event, some 16 female researchers from BAU and other Lebanese universities presented their latest findings in the field of scientific research. (AN Nahar, October 17, 2019)
