Dr. Ghanya Al-Naqeb. Researcher, University of Trento, Italy

Prof. Roseanne Diab. Director, GenderInSITE

The session will address the gender dimension of refugee scientists and highlight the challenges that women scientists and researchers face in war-torn countries, their challenges as refugees or displaced scientists, and their experiences in rebuilding their scientific careers in a new country. An overview of The World Academy of Sciences (TWAS)-InterAcademy Partnership (IAP)-International Science Council (ISC) initiative on refugee and displaced scientists will be given. This will be followed by the testimonies of two women scientists, one from Yemen and one from Syria, who speak on their personal experiences and reflect on gender perspectives. Finally, there will be a facilitated discussion on how best to incorporate a gender dimension into the refugee scientists’ initiative and how best to support the needs of displaced women scientists.
