It is an excellent opportunity for professionals committed to accelerating the global transition toward a net-zero future. About the WiSER Pioneers Program The WiSER Pioneers Program is a year-long leadership development initiative that empowers emerging women leaders working in environmental and STEM-related sectors. Through expert-led educational workshops and mentorship, participants gain the knowledge, confidence, and professional connections needed to influence sustainability policy, innovation, and climate solutions. The program also creates a platform where women can amplify their voices, collaborate with industry experts, and contribute to meaningful environmental change on a global scale. Program Benefits Successful participants will receive access to a wide range of professional and leadership development opportunities, including: Year-long leadership and capacity-building workshops Mentorship from international sustainability and renewable energy experts Global networking opportunities with industry leaders and professionals Participation in Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week Attendance at the annual WiSER Forum Enhanced visibility within the global sustainability community Practical leadership skills for advancing careers in climate and clean energy Eligibility Criteria To qualify for the WiSER Pioneers Program 2026, applicants must meet the following requirements: Be a woman aged 25 to 35 Be currently employed or self-employed Hold a university degree in a relevant field, including: Environment Energy Sustainability Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) Have at least two years of professional work experience Demonstrate excellent spoken English (knowledge of Arabic is an advantage but not required) Complete the online application and submit all required supporting documents Participant Responsibilities Selected WiSER Pioneers are expected to actively engage throughout the duration of the program.
