J APAN 1) Competitive grants for research conducted by female scientists offered by the Government 2) Programmes that encourage female researchers to return to work after having a child 3) Protecting them from losing their grants while on extended maternity leave 4) Increased funding to help universities employ more female scientists 5) Increase female enrolment by launching science-themed fairs, workshops, campus tours and lab visits.

S O U T H KO R E A The government and the private sector put up awards that provide cash money and honour the contributions made by female scientists.

CH IN A The Chinese Academy of Sciences has identified increasing women representation in science as an important priority.

IN DIA The Department of Science and Technology has launched a Women Scientists’ Scheme that offers fellowships and grants to women scientists who have to take a sabbatical to raise their families.

A growing number of Asian women are making inroads in science and technology, thanks to greater opportunities for career development and changing cultural mores.

Interviews with female scientists across the region reveal the factors which help women to cope with the challenges they usually face when choosing a demanding career in science: 1) Policies and laws that promote gender parity and equal opportunities 2) Changing cultural perceptions on women’s roles, 3) More supportive families 4) Presence of female role models Source: http://www.scidev.net/asia-pacific/gender/feature/more-asian-women-find-success-in-science.html

“I grew up with a lot of women as role models. Most of my science teachers were women, and so was my dissertation adviser.”

“There are in fact a lot of women who are raising families while maintaining an active research career. Women should know that it is okay to pursue a career in science.”

Cecilia Conaco | Assistant professor at the Marine Research Institute of the University of the Philippines | PhD from the Neuroscience Research Institute at the University of California

“In many countries in the Asia-Pacific region, few women make it to independent positions, let alone leadership positions. I have witnessed so many young talents wasted. I hope that my winning the prize will help the Asian-Pacific scientific community to realize that we cannot afford to lose half the talents any longer.”

Average age in agricultural society = 31 years (1984)

Tourism industry is a main source of income in Thailand.

Agricultural tourism is a growing industry

Average age in agricultural society = 42 years (2010) Southeast Asia is unifying into an ASEAN community- similar to the European Union. This will bring about a lot of changes in the economy and new business opportunitites.

Citizen science (also known as crowd science, crowd-sourced science, civic science, volunteer monitoring or networked science) is scientific research conducted, in whole or in part, by amateur or nonprofessional scientists. Formally, citizen science has been defined as “the systematic collection and analysis of data; development of technology; testing of natural phenomena; and the dissemination of these activities by researchers on a primarily avocational basis.” Citizen science is sometimes included in terms such as “public participation in scientific research”, participatory monitoring and participatory action research

An event of Citizen Juries in India held by ActionAid India and the UK’s The International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED) The voices of small and marginal farmers can enter the policy process when appropriate methodologies are used as in the two cases mentioned. For example: - putting the perceptions, priorities and judgement of ordinary farmers at centre stage, - conducting the events in a rural setting : under a tamarind tree on a farm (Karnataka) and a the farm of a rural training centre (Andhra Pradesh), - getting government bureaucrats, scientists and other expert witnesses to travel to farmers in order to present evidence on the pros and cons of new technologies, - using television and video technology to ensure transparency and free circulation of information on the process and the outcomes

Citclops is a project started in 2012 and sponsored by the European Commision (EC), the executive body of the European Union.

The Citclops project aims to develop systems to retrieve and use data on seawater colour, transparency and fluorescence, using low-cost sensors combined with people acting as data carriers, contextual information (e.g. georeferencing) and a community-based Internet platform, taking into account existing experiences (e.g. Secchi Dip-In, Coastwatch Europe and Oil Reporter).
