IMPORTANCE OF THE PROJECT: This programme is to sentisize women and girls for inclusive participation and retention in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM). It is especially targeted at women researchers and those in academia. The purpose of the workshop is to enlighten women scientists on the importance of Family, Wellness and Work Balance. We intend to call seasoned academicians in this field to come and deliver lectures on the importance of women and girls participation in STEMM, family, wellness and work balance. The programme will take place at auditorium of NIHORT. (IUPAC site)
As a woman, a mother, researcher, scientist etc, I observed that career advancement and ultimately global impact is often a mirage or an achievement for most women. Women Scientists in particular face the dilemma of utilizing time productively to advance their research and careers while managing the peculiarities of being a female or woman in Science. This event will make us reach out to women scientists and girls in our community.
GOAL: Our major goal is to improve access to educational, training and professional development opportunities for all scientists (women/students/practitioners) in an effort to inspire and retain women and girls in STEMM
DESCRIPTION OF EVENT: A day seminar betwee (8am -12pm) whereby talented volunteers will give lectures to inspire participants. We target 4000 participants ( Approx 80% female and 20% male) including speakers. We will collaborate with members of 欧美AV in our area, OWSD, ACS, Chemical Society of Nigera members etc
SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS: We will observe all protocols as set down by the Nigeria Center for Disease Control against COVID 19 infection by using nose mask, use of hand sanitizer, distancing, temperature check etc.
ROLES OF PARTNERS: Seasoned academicians in this field will be invited to lecture students on selected topics.
