Speaker
Description
This lightning talk presents our initiative: Empowering Women in STEM in Palestine. This initiative empowers women under conflict and occupation through National Research and Education Network (NREN) services. Palestinian women face challenges due to occupation, including limited mobility to attend conferences, restricted access to research labs and high-speed networks, and difficulties connecting with regional and global research communities. Despite these obstacles, women in Palestine are highly motivated and capable.
What will the TNC audience take away from your talk?
The TNC audience will learn how Palestinian women in STEM face challenges due to occupation, including limited mobility, restricted access to labs, and difficulties connecting with regional and global research communities. The talk explains how AI and NREN services help overcome these barriers by enabling virtual collaboration, providing access to digital infrastructure and online labs, and supporting training, networking, and partnerships. Attendees will gain practical insights into initiatives that strengthen participation in STEM research and inter-university cooperation.
