Women in STEMM

The world is undergoing a rapid tech revolution phase marked by the integration of digital technologies, the Internet of Things, artificial intelligence and a focus on circular economy and sustainability. Simultaneously, we face challenges such as cybersecurity, food security, and climate change. The role of women in this era is evolving rapidly, and their contributions are increasingly crucial to shaping the future of technology and innovation. Therefore, women in Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Medicine (STEMM) now have numerous opportunities, adopting a holistic approach that connects different ecosystems in this changing landscape. This session aims to explore and promote collaboration between Korean and European researchers and professionals in STEMM fields, with a specific focus on empowering women. We believe that a profound comprehension of the educational and professional cultures in both Korea and Europe has the potential to catalyze and encourage women-led international collaboration. By gaining insights into the nuances of how education and professional environments function in these regions, women in STEMM can leverage this knowledge to build effective partnerships and foster an environment conducive to their successful carrier development.

Synopsis
In our interconnected world, where collaboration transcends borders, female leaders play a pivotal role. Their strengths lie in emotional intelligence, adept relationship-building, inclusive decision-making, adaptability, collaborative conflict resolution, empowering team members, and leveraging diverse networks. These competencies foster successful cross-cultural teamwork. A forthcoming roundtable discussion will delve into the intersection of female leadership, culture, and effective collaboration across diverse backgrounds, featuring insights from women and men leaders (and to-be leaders). (Keynote Presentation 30 min, Roundtable Discussion 70 min) Key Discussion Points - Cultural Intelligence: How can female leaders develop cultural intelligence to navigate diverse work environments effectively? - Communication Strategies: What communication approaches bridge cultural gaps and promote understanding? - Conflict Resolution: How do female leaders address conflicts arising from cultural differences? - Inclusive Leadership: What practices foster inclusivity and empower diverse teams? - Collaborative Innovation: Examples of successful cross-cultural collaborations led by female leaders and lessons learned.
