Forum brings together fellowship recipients in Abu Dhabi

Launched in 2004, the Schlumberger Foundation Faculty for the Future program has a long-term goal of generating conditions that result in more women pursuing doctorate and post-doctorate studies in scientific disciplines. The program also has an extended mission to encourage community building through forums, both online and in person.

The 2010 forum

In December 2010, 25 fellowship recipients came together at an international Faculty for the Future Forum in Abu Dhabi. These women represented 11 emerging countries, such as Pakistan, Indonesia, Nigeria, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. They participated in workshops to share their research focus, methods, and goals. They also attended skill-building and working group sessions on topics such as careers, work/life balance, mentoring, networking, and community building.
