The aim of the International Science Week “Women in STEM”
The aim of the Women in STEM International Science Week is to support and promote active participation of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).
Within the framework of the “Women in STEM” festival, it is planned to hold a scientific forum “Attracting women and girls to STEM: achievements and problems”, round tables and training seminars with the participation of young scientists and students of the Tashkent Chemical-Technological Institute “Rising STEM Stars” for schoolgirls of secondary and vocational education interested in studying STEM courses.
The Forum provide a platform for the exchange of ideas, networking and discussion of role of women in STEM. It also aims to highlight the importance of diversity and inclusion in these fields, and to identify and overcome barriers faced by women in STEM. The forum will include discussion panels, seminars, workshops, masterclasses and sessions of research papers presented by female academics. Ultimately, the goal of the forum is to inspire and support the next generation of women scientists and engineers.

The Women in STEM Festival will include a scientific forum "Involvement of women and girls in STEM: achievements and problems" and round tables "Rising STEM Stars" with the participation of young women scientists, master classes of leading experts and scientists from Asia, Africa, Central and South America, Europe, North America, as well as training in chemistry and technology, artistic and musical performances of students, success stories of talented students of the Institute, answer-question section for pupil of schools and technical schools.
The festival “Women in STEM”" is organised as part of the celebration of “11 February - International Day of Women and Girls in Science” declared by the UN in 2015. The event is included in the list of IUPAC international events: https://iupac.org/gwb/2025/women-and-girls-in-stem/
.The resolution on “Science, Technology and Innovation for Development” adopted by the UN General Assembly on 20 December 2013 states that “equal and full access to science, technology and innovation for women and girls of all ages is a guarantee of gender equality”. On 22 December 2009, the UN General Assembly plenary adopted a resolution declaring 11 February as the "International Day of Women and Girls in Science". Thus, this day became one of the UN's international days.
The activities of the Women in STEM Festival (Women in Science Week 2024) contribute to "empowering all women and girls and achieving gender equality" (Goal 5: Gender Equality), one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals 2030 adopted by the United Nations.
The roundtables "Rising STEM Stars" will be organised at TICT as part of the “Global Women's Breakfast” event widely celebrated around the world on the initiative of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry IUPAC.
The idea of the "Global Women's Breakfast" was born at dawn on 18 January 2011, when women innovators from 44 countries of the world purposefully met and had breakfast together. They also took part in an international networking event in Paris on 27-28 January to mark the official launch of the International Year of Chemistry. To date, around 100 breakfasts have been organised around the world with around 500 women engineers, and the event has become one of the largest gatherings of women scientists in the world.
