| dc.description.abstract | COACh conducted multi-day workshops in India in early September, 2014 sponsored by DST and IUSSTF. One was held in Delhi September 1 to 5, and the second was held in Bangalore September 8 to 11. Almost 70 women attended the Delhi workshop, and 30 attended the Bangalore meeting. All participants were housed in facilities on-site. The agenda for the meetings covered a wide range of topics, from writing proposals and academic papers to interactions within the workplace, paralleling content delivered in workshops in other countries including the United States. This report summarizes data from two major sources. The first is internet-based surveys sent to participants shortly after the close of each workshop and again in the summer of 2015. The questionnaires were designed to measure the extent to which participants’ networks with other women scientists had changed as a result of their participation and to obtain feedback from the participants on the workshop. The second source of data is individual interviews with 22 attendees. The first section below summarizes information from the surveys, looking at changes in their networks over the span of the meeting and then at their views of the workshop and suggestions for future ones. The second section describes the results of the interviews, examining challenges that the women face in developing their careers and balancing career and family life. A final section summarizes the analysis, notes difficulties in getting all of the desired data, and discusses possible future directions. | en_US |
