Call for university professors and students to participate in focus groups on women opportunities in STEM sector in Egypt

To understand constraints that may impact women in the transition from school to university, and from university to the workplace, the World Bank in cooperation with the Regional Center for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (RCREEE) are conducting focus group discussions on the role of education and educators in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields.

We invite all universities students and professors to participate in the focus group discussions and elaborate on different topics affecting women’s opportunities in STEM education and in job markets afterwards.

The World Bank and the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) attempt to study opportunities and challenges women and men face to access economic opportunities in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) industries, specifically as they are related to the energy sector. The goal is to identify key causes of women under-representations in the energy sector in MENA and effective ways to address and promote their role; and based on findings, make recommendations for way forward.
