Women scientists at the forefront of change!

For many years, IntechOpen has actively promoted the research of female scientists. This initiative builds on the successful foundations of the previous Women in Science programmes, publishing the research of award-winning women from physics to robotics, medicine to environmental science. We honour our female authors and editors, while also highlighting groundbreaking work by women scientists from around the world, providing them with a digital space and platform to connect and showcase their work. We aim not only to celebrate the achievements of women in STEM but also to inspire future generations. Committed to fostering an inclusive environment, we will continue our efforts to support diversity and empower more women scientists to pursue rewarding careers.

I would like to thank IntechOpen for promoting women in science. By having strategies that address the gender bias in scientific journal and book editing, they are not only promoting women but providing opportunities for all to contribute and have access to world-class analyses on an open access platform.

Webinar: Emerging Technologies - Partnering for Accessibility, Discoverability and Sustainable Future

We co-hosted a webinar with Zendy, featuring an all-female panel of speakers encompassing both women in business and women in academia. This insightful session provided a deep dive into a hands-on case study in the field of emerging technologies in energy engineering and sustainability. The focus was on elucidating the goals driving this research, emphasizing technologies designed to benefit developing countries through free and unrestricted access to knowledge under the Open Access model. The showcase effectively demonstrated how various platforms and their technologies can accelerate the discovery of knowledge, particularly in developing regions.

Work-life balance is very important to women. As an Asian female scientist, I know for a fact that the entire responsibility of running a family falls on the shoulders of the wife and mother regardless of their profession. Women are smart. They can multi-task.

Women in Robotics 2015

The intention of this project was to bring into the spotlight the scientific accomplishments of women working in robotics.

“Yes, we need to get away from the perception that robotics is not feminine as it was in my youth. Girls and women can do anything when they put their mind into it.”

Prof. Ruzena Bajcsy

Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley and the University of Pennsylvania
