Organized by top engineering schools in the Asia Pacific Region, the 2026 edition of the Workshop aims to bring together young women professionals in engineering disciplines from around the world. This includes scholars, researchers, and engineers who are exploring or advancing careers in academia. The Workshop will facilitate scientific and career-oriented discussions, with a focus on empowering the next generation of women academic leaders in Asia and beyond.


The HKUST School of Engineering would like to express its sincere appreciation to all who joined us for the Asian Deans’ Forum 2026 The Rising Stars Women in Engineering Workshop.

The Workshop’s success was made possible by the dedication of many. We are immensely grateful to the deans and professors for their leadership and insights, the mentors who shared their time and wisdom so generously, and the organizing committee whose tireless efforts ensured a seamless experience. Above all, we thank each participant for bringing exceptional energy, curiosity, and ambition to the three-day Workshop.

As we look toward the future, we are delighted to pass the torch and announce that the Asian Deans’ Forum 2027 will be hosted by Tsinghua University!
