Prof Takao Someya
Promoting exchange of researchers and students among Asian universities is the main objective of the Asian Deans’ Forum, inaugurated by UTokyo in May 2016. HKUST hosted the first Rising Star Women in Engineering Workshop under this framework in October 2018. Active participation of women is one of the keys in strengthening academia that will lead innovation in the Asian region. We are proud to support a series of workshops that will accelerate diversity within the field of engineering.
Prof Hong Kam Lo
We are proud to co-host the Rising Stars Workshop to nurture and mentor young women engineers. HKUST is a young, dynamic, research-oriented, top-ranked institution. We highly value diversity and internationalization. I look forward to meeting and welcoming female academic leaders in engineering at the Workshop and developing closer working relationships with you at HKUST.
Prof Wen-Chang Chen
As a college of engineering which boasts a relatively-high percentage of women students, we value this chance to co-host the innovative program, the first Rising Stars Women in Engineering Workshop in Asia, very much. We aim to devoting ourselves into finding more opportunities for female academics through this event.

As Dean of the largest Engineering Faculty in Australia, I am very pleased that UNSW Sydney is a co-sponsor of this workshop. We seek to ensure the Engineering profession is formed from people who reflect the society we seek to serve. Building a community within our up-and-coming talented women engineers is very important and this workshop is an excellent way to train and showcase talented women engineers in our region.
