Scientists and engineers are intrinsic to human rights work yet many are unaware of the opportunities that exist to integrate a commitment to human rights with their professional careers. The workshop will explore varied pathways for providing scientific talent, tools, and techniques to human rights work through professional affiliations, classroom activities, community involvement, and as a full-time career.
