Forum Summary

Founded in 2004, KWiSE (Korean-American Women in Science and Engineering) is a non-profit organization to promote career development and networking of Korean-American women professionals in the science and engineering fields. Involving all key organizations working for Korean American women in the STEM field in both US and Korea, the main objective of this forum is to exchange ideas on career development, leadership, and empowerment of women in STEM and to discuss potential policies and strategies that are needed to expedite this process.

After an opening session by KWiSE and WISET, the KWiSE-KOFWST Session will include a panel discussion to compare US and Korea’s work-life balance policies and practices for retaining women talents in STEM. Each panelist will make a brief presentation highlighting their own experience while developing their career. An open panel discussion and Q&A will follow. This forum is designed to be an interactive and engaging event to foster networking and mentoring among the attendees. The forum will provide an excellent opportunity for the participants to learn from the women leaders in the STEM fields and get inspired to become a future leader in STEM.

The KWiSE-KWSE Session will discuss how Korea-US cooperation can contribute to global challenges in the field of earth and space science. Speakers will share examples of various ongoing successful global collaborations and adopting emerging technologies such as AI and big data. We will also discuss how women scientists and engineers can further strengthen existing collaboration and foster new collaborations.
