UOWD –DBWC WOMEN AND LEADERSHIP SEMINAR SERIES

The UOWD-DBWC Women and Leadership Seminar Series was launched in 2015 with a view to making a contribution to the dialogue and debates surrounding gender issues and women in leadership positions in the UAE. The seminar series provides an opportunity for working women to both share and learn from their own (and other’s) personal leadership stories and experiences, to learn from key thinkers, researchers and government representatives in the area, and to join the conversation about policy implications.

Each session lasts for one and a half hours and starts with a presentation by an eminent speaker, followed by a moderated Q&A session. Refreshments are also served.

ABOUT THE NATIONAL RESEARCH FOUNDATION

With grant funding support from the National Research Foundation, the University of Wollongong in Dubai is proud to have teamed up with Dubai Business Woman Council (DBWC) to understand more about the role of women in the UAE workplace and the factors associated with women attaining, and succeeding in, leadership positions. It is hoped that the research will contribute to public policy initiatives aimed to heighten career leadership development opportunities among women in the UAE.
