 D. Women in Radio Science (WIRS) Award
2nd MSc/ PhD Thesis/Dissertation WIRS Award -NRSC 2025

"Empowering Women in Radio Science: Overcoming Barriers in Education and Career Paths"
Call for Nominations
In a sound environment that has long been dominated by men, women have been slow to carve out a place 
for themselves. Yet, having been assiduous listeners from the start, then they have started to play 
a central role in shaping the research in radio science disciplines. 

URSI keeps promoting the activities of women by supporting women in radio science (WIRS) chapters. 
Women in Radio Science Chapter of the Egyptian National Committee of the International Union of Radio 
Science held 3 sessions along with the NRSC conferences, 2018, 2023, and 2024. Egyptian WIRS chapter 
has developed a new award; Women in Radio Science (WIRS) Award for the first time in conjunction with 
NRSC2024 for the outstanding Thesis/Dissertation that was done by women. 

URSI supports WIRS programs and awards. This year sees the second round of prizes. 
Associated with NRSC 2025. The award objective not just to rank theses and dissertations from "best" 
to "worst" but to honor and empower women in radio science. 
Make an effort to highlight the various viewpoints, creative approaches, and distinctive contributions 
that each candidate has made to the radio science field.   

The Judging Panel expertise in radio science will carry out the judging process based on the mentioned 
criteria and any more provided assisted information as soon as the closing deadline is reached.  
The nominated ones will be awarded in a WIRS session that will be held along with the NRSC2025. 
Although women's sessions always discuss the challenges faced by minority underrepresented groups in 
radio science and engineering, our sessions usually present our promising case for having a real 
considerable share of women in radio science in Egypt. This year session will discuss 
"Empowering Women in Radio Science: Overcoming Barriers in Education and Career Paths". 

Scientific radio topics also will be provided by women. Top notch women in academia and industry 
will join in our coming session. The session also will include 10-minute presentation summary about 
the outstanding nominated theses / dissertations presented by the nominees and get awarded.
