Download the partnership factsheet

 According to the UNESCO’s Institute of Statistics data, an estimated 28.8% of the world’s researchers are women. This number declines further when we look at the percentage of women who have taken up leadership positions in their organizations and still further looking across Asia. 

What we do

The Asian Scientist-Elsevier Foundation Salon for Leadership in STEM is a two-day intensive in-person leadership program that aims to equip women with the skills required for professional development and success. It is designed to create a safe space for women to gather, exchange ideas, get inspired and support one another in their professional journeys — helping to close the gender gap for women scientists in Singapore through capacity building, role modelling and networking. 

How we deliver

The partnership works to:

  • Accelerate change in the industry 
  • Provide skill and knowledge transfer 
  • Create a platform for women in the industry to connect

 “The highlight of the workshop was listening to the authentic and inspiring life stories on overcoming challenges in a male-dominated STEM world.”

 “The best part of the workshop is that it helps me discover more about myself and how to communicate with the partners around me. It gives me power, and it strengthens my confidence.”
