[ST1-1] Allyship and Leadership in Changing Era : Career experiences (KOFWST-EKWSEA-VeKNI women): Block I : Challenges in the Career & How to overcome
- Seonhi Ro (Ford motor Company)
Description
Due to demographic development, South Korea and many European countries face a shortfall of skilled workforce in STEM areas. In the STEM area, very few women are studying and working. Encouraging women to study and work in STEM will be one solution to increase the skilled workforce and fill the shortage of science and technology manpower in this area. To recruit more women to STEM and improve the retention rate of women, the policies, systems, programs, and workplace culture need to be supported.
EKC 2023 (it is also the 50th anniversary of VeKNI, and the 1st anniversary of VeKNI women) in Munich is a great opportunity to discuss the contributions of women in STEM to industry and society, their allyship at work, and their roles in the Industry 4.0/5.0 era.
The goal of this session is: To share the experience that was helpful at each stage of career formation in the growth process of Korean-European women scientists and engineers of various generations, countries, genders, and cultures, and compare them by country. Based on that, to get some orientation for personal, social, political, and structural, and support.
Expected Performance is: Compare and benchmark the differences or commonalities between Europe and Korea in policy and institutional support supported from the perspective of life cycle or growth stage and utilize them

Having pursued my studies in the United States twenty years ago, I enthusiastically began my career as a professor in Korea.
