Main activities
The scarcity of women in science and engineering (more prominently at the managerial level) is a matter of concern in most of the countries especially so in India. The small number of women receiving degrees in the sciences and engineering translates to an even smaller percentage of women at top and middle level of management in science and engineering fields. WISE INDIA aims to spread a message of awareness about the strengths and success stories of women engineers and see that their contributions are duly recognized in Society. We shall endeavor to achieve our goals through following activities:
Create a Data Bank of Women Scientists and Engineers in India Encourage Girl Child to take up Engineering and Science as a preferred career choice Organize Seminars to enhance Leadership and technical skills Encourage Participation of Women Scientists and Engineers in National and International Seminars Give awards to commend the outstanding work done by women Engineers and Scientists Interaction with Industry to support recruitment and retention of Women Engineers & scientists Mentoring and providing support to women who have taken temporary break from their career and bring them back to mainstream Promoting exchange of information, networking, advocacy of projects among women engineers and scientists Encourage Participation of Women Scientists and Engineers in National and International

1. Current Status in network of women engineers and scientists since last year
Women in Science and Engineering in India have improved considerably from June 2014 to April 2015. This can be seen significantly in its yearly growth, Women in Engineering has seen a growth of 7 percent since 2010 and Women in science has grown remarkably. This growth supports the major development of women in the workforce industry in India. However, the women’s participation in mathematics has not achieved considerable growth in past years. The Government of India through its various transformation program included an agenda to increase number of skilled women in the workforce.
Among the major developments that are taking place in India to encourage more women in science, engineering, mathematics and technology are as follows:
(a) Department of Science and Technology, Govt. of India:
The "Women Scientists Scheme" has been evolved in this context, by the Department of Science and Technology (DST), Govt. of India for providing opportunities to women scientists and technologists between the age group of 30-50 years who desire to return to mainstream science and work as bench-level scientists. Through this endeavour of the Department, a concerted effort would be made to give women a strong foothold into the scientific profession, help them re-enter into the mainstream and provide a launch pad for further forays into the field of science and technology, both from the point of view of pure science and its application to societal development. Under this scheme, women scientists are being encouraged to pursue research in frontier areas of science and engineering, on problems of societal relevance and to take up S&T-based internship followed by self-employment.
(b) Proactive Gender Enabling Schemes by Govt. of India:
The Scheme of Universalisation of Women Helpline is intended to provide 24 hours immediate and emergency response to women affected by violence through referral (linking with appropriate authority such as police, One Stop Centre, hospital) and information about women related government schemes programs across the country through a single uniform number. Women Helpline (WHL) has been integrated with One Stop Centre Scheme (OSC) under which one OSC shall be established in every State/UT to provide integrated support and assistance to women affected by violence, both in private and public spaces under one roof. Women affected by violence and in need of redressal services will be referred to OSC through WHL. The objectives of the Scheme are (a) To provide toll-free 24-hours telecom service to
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
women affected by violence seeking support and information, (b) To facilitate crisis and non-crisis intervention through referral to the appropriate agencies such as police/Hospitals/Ambulance services/District Legal Service Authority (DLSA)/Protection Officer (PO)/OSC, (c) To provide information about the appropriate support services, government schemes and programs available to the woman affected by violence, in her particular situation within the local area in which she resides or is employed. (c) New Initiatives of the Department of Science and Technology:
Science and Engineering Research Board (SERB) has intensified its activities for human capacity building through science and engineering research. Besides supporting individual scientist centric R&D projects through 19 programme advisory committees, the Board has launched several new initiatives during the year viz. Empowerment and Equity opportunities for Excellence in Science for enhancing participation of scientists from the weaker sections of the society; SERB Women Excellence Award to enroll large number of women into S&T activities; SERB Distinguished Fellowship Scheme. National Programme on Educational Neuroscience under which a new co-ordinated project has been supported on ‘Development and validation of screening tool to identify Learning Disability (Teacher Administered Screening Tool)’ in top-down approach. This is a multidisciplinary programme to address and understand the cognitive deficits of Learning Disabilities. Training Programme on “Geomatics: Technology and Applications” for Women Scientists: This training programme is based on the ‘geomatics technologies’ which have logically proved more accurate, scientific, unbiased and multi-disciplinary, thus allowing the decision making process in any area to be more effective and efficient. Therefore, it has immense importance in value addition of research result analysis and in policy making
2. Best practices of networking of women engineers and scientists in your
country
The women network is all about growth. In the era of transformation, the needs of successful networking are to be more binding and diverse in transforming our nation towards greater heights. The best practices of networking of women engineers and scientists starts with diversity and attributes which women apply in their daily life that has made positive contribution to the work force of the nation. This contribution has merged a group of successful network of women engineers, scientists and academicians.
In India, the concept of networking of women scientists and engineers are seen wth professional institutions and bodies:
a) Consolidation of University Research for Innovation and Excellence in
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
Women Universities (CURIE) of Department of Science and Technology of Govt. of India: Department is providing support for six Women Universities in India under CURIE program. A visible impact of CURIE has been noticed on development of research facilities and infrastructure, human resource development and on the quality of research output in these universities. This has paved the way for 2ndPhase of CURIE Program for additional support in these Universities. Networking of CURIE Beneficiaries, Inception of CURIE has met with remarkable success as through CURIE support various State-of-the-art facilities have been established in supported women universities. The ‘Networking Concept’ has been introduced among CURIE beneficiaries to utilize these facilities and expertise of a particular university.
b) The Institutions of Engineers in India: In order to fulfil its basic objective through synthesizing an amalgam of academic and practical expertise, the Institution has grouped its members into several 'Engineering Divisions' according to the discipline of their expertise. These Divisions have the mandate to devote their efforts, individually or jointly with one or more other Divisions, towards search for new knowledge and product technologies within their respective or an inter-disciplinary domain. These Divisions are directed to take active steps to establish a close liaison between the Institution, its members and the policy-makers. In order to broaden and strengthen the services of the Institution to the technical community and to the public as well, these Divisions are also directed to actively encourage research and developmental programs through various promotional aids, such as Lectures, Seminars, Symposia, Workshops and other educational programs of the like and also the publications aimed at the dissemination of research results, in addition to extending technical consultancy and advisory services.
3. Suggestion for future network in your country or all over the world
The existing of networks in our country would benefit by having collaborative effort and relationship with other likeminded women, women groups, networks, alliances, government institutions, departments, industries, and corporate etc that have successfully grown to have a large representation. Especially regional networks are likely to succeed as countries in a region that tend to have similar traditions and cultural values. This may be helpful to learn through collaborative efforts which policies result in improving women participation in science, engineering and technology sectors. Following collaborative activities might prove helpful:
a. Organizing workshops, seminars and expert consultations to help formulate fruitful policies.
b. Series of lecture series to inspire young mentors.
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
c. Set up state level networks to have a wider presence through out the country.
4. Detailed information of members
: This information could be helpful when women engineers and scientists want to collaborate with someone working in specific areas.Providing an email address is optional.

the person".
Suggestion for future network in your country or all over the world
1) Policy and actions.
Approved by the Cabinet in June 2003, the goal of Japanese diversity was set
Proportion of women in leadership positions becomes about 30% at least, in all
sectors of society, in 2020".

Fig-3 Trendline for number and percentage of female researchers
Created based on Report on the survey R&D ( Labour Force Survey by the Statistics
Bureau of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications) (MEXT 2015 )
As, shown in the Fig-3 it is not easy to accomplish 30% of female researchers, in
2020 because . But the number is growing steadily.
2) Positive action.(Gender Equality Bureau Cabinet Office)
Gender Equality Bureau Cabinet Office proposed a Positive Action to
promote gender equality in 4 areas, which are politics, government services,
technology and research, and employment, (Feb 2014)
technology and research(universities and research institute);

2005
For other countries, European Commission “She Figures 2003”
As this shows, not only is the percentage of female researchers in Japan low,
there is also a big gap in promotion and in fields of specialization between men
and women. A questionnaire was conducted on researchers to ask the reasons for
the small number of females. Most respondents indicated family circumstances,
such as child birth, child care and home care for relatives. It is thought to be
difficult to handle both this kind of family responsibility and the responsibilities
of research work. The answers from female researchers indicate that many feel
that females are at a disadvantage regarding evaluations, promotions and
assignments Fig-4 .
As a result, a variety of measures will be implemented to promote the activity of
female researchers through the Third Science and Technology Basic Plan.
First, with regard to the granting of competitive funding, there should be
expansion of measures that consider the balancing of conducting research and
childbirth/child-rearing, etc., such as allowing for term extensions and
interruptions for fixed periods for the purpose of childbirth and child-rearing.
Furthermore, universities and public research institutions are required to
implement not only steps to improve the environment but also activities including
awareness-raising by supporting the balance between research and child
birth/rearing in the action plans to be formulated and implemented based on the
Law for Measures to Support the Development of the Next Generation. The
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
Government will provide support for research institutions implementing efforts
that others should follow. It is also expected to actively recruit females in terms
of hiring, promotion and participation in policy bodies through the setting of a
numerical target for the recruitment of female researchers at each institution.
The prospective recruitment target for female researchers in the natural science
field is 25 .
In addition, since there is already a large drop in the percentage of females that
continue their education at the university level, there will also be efforts to
increase interest and curiosity in young female students and children.

1. Current Status in network of women engineers and scientists since last year
In a recent survey of the engineering industry conducted by IEM and BEM, the women engineers in Malaysia are increasing every year.
This figure can be extrapolated to the rest of the industry with a fair degree of accuracy. The dearth of women in science and engineering has been a long-debated challenge in Malaysia, and is highlighted by the fact that only 10-25% of engineering graduates at Malaysia universities are female.
This is disconcerting for many reasons, not least of which is the fact that true diversity and transformation transcends race to embrace gender. Indeed, although aspects of the engineering industry may long have been associated with men – construction, for instance, has not traditionally been thought of as a feminine sphere – the reality is that it can benefit significantly from the qualities women bring to the workplace, including lateral thinking and an ability to multitask.
Both issues have been addressed by IEM-WE through education campaigns highlighting the realities of a job in engineering, outlining the roles and responsibilities of players and thus dispelling the misconceptions still associated with the industry. Both organisations and their employees have a part to play in this regard, but companies have the further responsibility of ensuring they provide support to their female employees.
The activities and curricula conducted by IEM-WE to network women engineers and scientists in engineering and science, including:
Inspiring the next generation of female engineers University and school talks by the IEM-WE Committee members
Essay Writing Competition Biographical essays or comments on the women engineers and their involvement.
Women Engineers Workshop Showcase our most eager young scientists in a way that encourages all kids to discover the wonders of science. They can find Integrated activities, videos and guides, and programs. This workshop consists of engaging stories of girls exploring science, taking into account the research on what girls like and need.
Engineering Education Service The Engineering Education Service is an engineering education initiative that specializes in providing schools to teach and share the fun of engineering. From
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
curriculum to books, DVDs, posters, kits and other motivational products, we aim to make engineering understandable and accessible to everyone. The mission of the Engineering Education Service Center is to provide, or help you provide, information resources to promote, guide, and stimulate interest in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) with a particular emphasis on "E"ngineering. We seek to diversify the types of engineers by exposing large numbers of students to the capacity they will have to benefit society.
Engineering Competitions A list of national and international engineering and technology competitions for students from elementary to high school.
IEM Library The library offers a list of ready to use informal science and engineering activities that are fun and aim to positively impact communities.
National Women Engineer Summit 2015
The summit will be organized on 26th NOV 2015 to provide a platform for outstanding women engineer leaders to share and inspire the members. This summit is planned to raise the image of women engineers and strive toward to their fullest potential.
WE 1 Day Brainstor ming Session

2. Best practices of networking of women engineers and scientists in your country
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
IEM-WE is one of the nation’s Women Engineers leading organization for advancing inclusive culture in engineering to promote innovation and networks. Members can receive customized services that leverage IEM-WE’s national network of engineering sectors and its extensive gender and inclusion knowledge base to improve diversity of their workforce.
A IEM-WE partnership provides members the opportunity to enhance recruitment and retention initiatives and promote an organization-wide inclusive culture that values and encourages diversity.
IEM-WE’s extensive national network of professionals guide women engineering students, preparing them for innovative practice and success in the workforce. IEM-WE’s research-based knowledge about inclusive engineering cultures is a highly regarded resource for both academia and industry to build positive educational and workplace cultures and realize the benefits of diverse, creative and innovative thinking.
IEM-WE builds and strengthen working relationships with campus-based leaders in diverse engineering workforce development to create a robust pipeline of the brightest students representing Malaysia’s rich culture.
IEM-WE corporate connections enhance organizational culture of diversity and inclusion to retain talent in engineering, and reap the benefit of investment in the talented women professionals.
3. Suggestion for future network in your country or all over the world
In the era of globalisation and knowledge based economy, women engineers are continuously challenged to contribute towards nation building while maintaining balance in the personal life and at the same time acquiring intellectually challenging and rewarding life-long career. Besides being a career minded individual, women engineers still have to fulfill their social obligations and responsibility towards family. It is pertinent that women engineers in Malaysia do not loose sight of their femininity and still upheld their expected roles in the society such as getting married and bearing children. Development in multi-disciplinary areas of engineering and related disciplines such as nanotechnology, biotechnology,genetic engineering, information technology, communication technology bring new challenges. Women engineers will have to keep abreast on new technologies continuously. Continuous personal development in nontechnical areas such as management and
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
financial planning is necessary if one is to be marketable in the industry. The new challenge ahead is for women engineers to go global. We have succeeded in exporting workers in the non-technical field; for example, well-trained Malaysian nurses are much sought after by the middle-east countries. The challenge is also to export our services in engineering. However, this seems to be arduous task where even the men engineers have encountered difficulties in going global. Women engineers in Malaysia have come a long way in earning due respect and recognition for their efforts and contributions towards nation building from the society. The future of women engineers in the 21st century is bright if the current atmosphere such as equal opportunity and political stability is maintained. One of the determining factors for Malaysia to achieve Vision 2020 will be contribution from women engineers. Women engineers will be among the main backbone in supplying the advance technical knowledge in transforming Malaysia into a developed country.
In 2020, the number of women engineers should be increased every year according to the survey. In the future through WE-ASEAN, we can strengthen the capacity building of IEM-WE members to get the new Technology by training and sharing their experiences from sister countries.

intellectuals Promote propaganda activities by using the various social media as
newspapers, internet, national TV, facebook … Foster interest and honor the young intellectual women with
outstanding achievements, the young intellectuals strive to overcome difficulties in learning and labor. Also accompany social organizations in the philanthropy and community.
There are 4 key projects that we are executing since 2014 as outlined:
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
(i) Project "The role and position of Intellectual Women in developing sustainable society“ (ii) Project “Vietnam intellectual women with creative activities phase 2” (iii) Project “Support for advanced knowledge and skills of law propagation and dissemination of Vietnam legal system on the prevention of corruption” (iv) P72 Winner for Award 2014 inspected by Government and World Bank 1. Best practices of networking of women engineers and scientists in your country Since 2013, Vietnam Ministry of Sciences and Technology supports a project namely "Women with Intellectual property and scientific research". In 2013, phase 1 of the project has introduced 12 women scientists face with the results of their studies. Thereby, some topics are introduced and achieved very good commercial outcome. From that effect, the Ministry continues to provide funding for phase 2 with the aim of contributing to gender equality in science and technology. The project "Women with Intellectual property and scientific research" phase 2 is implemented in 2015 by VAFIW under the management of the Ministry of Sciences and Technology and coordination of Vietnam Television, with the aim to creating favorable conditions to support commercialization of research outcomes, with broadcasting on National Television Channel every Sunday in the afternoon. The goal of the project is through the combination of talk-show and reportage, it aims to promote the research results of intellectual women to contribute to
awareness of gender equality in science and technology activities; while continuing to enhance advanced awareness of intellectual property; creating a bridge to help potential investors seeking faisible investment opportunities, while promoting the intellectual wisdom of women, promote the scientific research in research institutions, universities ... To make it more useful compared to the phase 1, the approach of phase 2 is based on outcome-oriented, based on the needs of society, the breath of the market, focus on solving each hot social isue, as to avoiding to waste resources. 12 topic get more attention from the community and social impact because there are really hot issues that the society is facing. We can cite here:
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
(i) Preserve youth (ii) Clean food and sustainable development problems (iii) Physical health and height for Vietnamese people (iv) Biotechnological applications in environmental protection (v) How to maintain herbal pharmaceutical sources (vi) Copyright issues in culture and art business (vii) Biotechnology development in Vietnam (viii) Enhance the competitiveness of enterprises VN during integration (ix) Disease prevention research, vaccine production (x) Renew living environment (xi) Recovery solution for soil fertility serving sustainable agricultural development (xii) Improvement of soil fertility and crop yields
2. Suggestion for future network in your country or all over the world (i) In Vietnam: VAFIW uses many different methods to track the advancement of our mission and the success of our programs related to women in the workplace, women enrolling in engineering and a variety of resources available for those interested in diversity initiatives. VAFIW divides our members into different branchs. Each branch represents as an agent of change in specific sectors that they are proffesional. Their values and behavior permeate everything this sub-group does and represents. Consequently, to foster success for women in science and engineering, it is essential that all members consider their own impact on women in these fields to shape women’s careers. Most members want to be a positive influence so it is important to understand the types of behavior that can make a difference. The slow progress of women through the academic science and engineering leadership ranks is a matter of national concern. Certainly, VAFIW in cooperation with academic institutions must do their part by enacting the policies, programs, and procedures that will allow women to reach their full
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
potential in science and engineering careers. Becoming more aware of the many ways, small and large, that our individual actions and advocacy can help to keep women in STEM pipeline will not only be a boon to the individuals you affect, but also to the continued scientific and engineering progress of our country. (ii) In Asia and the Pacific and worldwide: VAFIW commits to strengthen international relations and cooperation in the short and long term. VAFIW’s international cooperation activities are diversified in forms such as participating in forums, signing and implementing the cooperation agreements/MoU, exchange of visits, participating and contributing comments/ ideas at conferences and workshops on various topics. These activities have contributed actively to open new bridge for intellectual women. 3.

INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS FOR WOMEN IN STEM
The Society of Women Engineers (SWE) founded in 1950, has been a leader in developing outreach and professional development programs to inspire and encourage the next generation of women engineers. SWE engages young girls in the possibilities of this rewarding career path with inspiring workshops, STEM camps and programs, Girl Scout events and interaction with SWE role models. For its professional members, SWE had developed a wide range of programs focused on career advancement such as webinars, outstanding workshops and seminars at regional and national conferences, and leadership training. Highlights of these successful and innovative STEM programs will be presented along with information for obtaining more details for use by other STEM organizations around the world.

CURRENT SITUATION AND CHALLENGES OF WOMEN IN STEM IN MONGOLIA
This talk presents current situation and challenges of Mongolian women in STEM and activities and progress of Women Scientists, Technologists, Engineers, and Mathematicians (WSTEM) in Mongolia comparative to previous year.
….. While Mongolia has made important strides in achieving gender equality, such as revising the election law with the introduction of 20 percent quotas for women candidates, it still has a long way to go when it comes to parity between women and men in education and science. Currently, Mongolia ranks 33rd out of 136 countries according to the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Index (2013), which constitutes a significant improvement compared to
2012 when it ranked 44th but still lower than in 2010 when it ranked 27th. Women hold 70 percent of the jobs in the education sector, and yet more than 90 percent of the people in positions of power are men. We are hoping that this conference will bring us, the women faculty in science, technology, engineering and mathematics, together to enlighten each other, and most importantly the public, about our role in developing the knowledge economy, by focusing on education and innovation, in Mongolia and beyond.

THE GERMAN-MONGOLIAN INSTITUTE FOR RESOURCES AND TECHNOLOGY A MODEL FOR REFORM OF MONGOLIAN HIGHER EDUCATION?
The challenge
Mongolia has one of the world’s largest stocks of mineral resources, particularly coal, copper, gold, fluorspar and tungsten. Thanks to the strong global demand for these commodities, Mongolia has been experiencing a phase of economic growth at a rate averaging 10 % throughout the last years. However, it has not yet managed fully to harness the substantial potential for growth in the mineral resource sector to stimulate economic and social development, and added value is limited.
One major obstacle is the severe shortage of highly skilled technical experts and management staff. Mongolia’s university sector still lacks technical and organizational capacity to meet the needs of industry and society more generally for engineers and technological experts trained to a high level. Shortcomings in the sector include its inadequate practical orientation and the lack of internal quality standards.
Companies and government ministries have concluded that university courses lack adequate professional content. For example, engineering and technology science graduates do not possess the necessary professional, linguistic and social competences to embark successfully on their careers. Furthermore, cooperation between universities and the private sector is inadequate, while involvement by researchers in international networks is low.
The approach
The establishment of the GMIT was preceded by an agreement between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Mongolia’s President Tsakhiagiin Elbegdorj on close cooperation in the fields of mineral resources, industry and technology. Working on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the Deutsche Gesellschaft für 2.
Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is supporting the Mongolian Ministry of Education and Science in developing the GMIT. In cooperation with the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD), GIZ is responsible for implementing Germany’s contribution to this bilateral higher education project.
Success factors
As a state-run Mongolian higher education and research institution, the GMIT is an innovation within the national higher education sector. It collaborates closely on developing engineering degree programmes with a consortium of leading German technical universities. Teaching staff from Germany work as lecturers at the GMIT.
The GMIT is responding to the demand for highly skilled engineers and technology experts in Mongolia’s mineral resource sector and its downstream industries. Industry surveys with more than 100
Keynote Spe ch
APNN & ICWSTEM 2015
es confirm this demand and serves as a guide for programme development.
Cooperation with German partner universities, which has been close from the very outset of the project, enables the GMIT to bring international research expertise and access to modern academic standards to Mongolia. At the same time, its practice-oriented engineering education is leading the way to improve coordination between the education sector and private businesses.
In organisational terms, the GMIT makes a difference in the the Mongolian higher education system, for example by incorporating principles of modern university management into its administrative structures and maintaining institutional autonomy.
In the medium term, development of its applied research profile and continuing professional development provision for engineers and technologists will enable the GMIT to boost its profile as a business partner in the Mongolian mineral resources sector and its downstream industries.

2) Optimal Ratio of Women on Evaluation Committee for Basic Research Project
- When composing evaluation committees for each research project consideration must be made on the proposed ratio as 40% for commission position based on the Framework Act on Women's Development in accordance to the Gender Equality Act
3) Validity of dividing the supporting projects for general researchers and women scientist
Difficulties exist in securing minimal supporting conditions for women scientist when budget cut occurs by applying the ratio of the women’s quota system that follows the budget of general research support projects when the support project for women scientists are included in the general research support project.
- Reception rate of minimal secured women scientist research budget decreased when the secured minimal number of support projects for women scientists were absorbed into the general support projects
- Differentiation must exist for women scientist supporting projects in the degree of realizing
