Teachers at Canadian University Dubai (CUD) are leading initiatives to encourage women into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) with the help of the UAE’s forward-thinking approach to innovation and gender balance. Their initiatives are closing the gap between men and women in these traditionally male-professional areas through mentorship, access, and a hospitable scholarly environment for young female engineers and scientists.
By groundbreaking research, industry partnerships, and educational programs, CUD faculty are providing equal opportunities for women in STEM careers. The university is actively developing an inclusive learning culture, where students are able to acquire technical skills, gain confidence, and network with industry champions who advocate gender diversity in the workforce.
CUD’s strategy takes a cue from the UAE’s vision to empower women in science and technology, which helps drive the country’s knowledge-based economy. Specific programs and scholarships designed for female students in STEM were further supporting this purpose, getting more young women into engineering, AI, biotechnology, and digital innovation careers.
By encouraging the next generation of women to be leaders in STEM, Canadian University Dubai is assisting in redefining the future of scientific breakthrough and technological innovation—one discovery at a time.
