Asia & Pacific

OWSD REGION

OWSD has been working hard in Asia and the Pacific since 1997 to improve the number and quality of women scientists. The region has recently seen a surge in members, with an active network of National Chapters (see below). Our fellowships programme has provided full PhD scholarships to 130+ women from eligible countries in the Asia and Pacific region. PhD fellows from countries worldwide have taken up their scholarships at excellent host institutes in China, India, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Türkiye. Early Career fellowships have also been awarded to women in Bangladesh, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. OWSD Vice President, Atya Kapley, is from India.
