The American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and the Women in Engineering Programs & Advocates Network (WEPAN), under the auspices of the Global Alliance for Diversifying the Workforce in Science and Engineering, will hold a study group meeting to develop a joint United States/Sweden initiative to improve gender equality in the engineering and technological workforce. This grant supports planning, implementation, and documentation for the meeting.Partners in Sweden include the Swedish Embassy of the United States of America; WITEC -- Women in Science, Engineering and Technology; Encounter AB (a women-owned company to promote equal opportunity programs in Sweden); the National Agency for Higher Education (part of the Swedish Ministry for Education and Science); and the Swedish Ministry of Industry, Employment, and Communications.Specific goals and objectives for this project are to identify challenges, appropriate strategies, and partnering organizations to implement action plans to:(1) Foster pathways to leadership for women in the engineering and scientific technology workforce, during both the higher education and career years. (2) Better understand the gender perspective in the engineering design process.Participants will include representatives from higher education, business, government, and professional associations.Pre-meeting literature and Internet searches will be conducted to determine what is already known and what programs already exist in these two areas, in both the U.S. and Sweden. Short surveys will be sent to selected engineering schools, business, and professional associations to identify existing strategies in these two areas. Before the study group meeting, participants will receive a written report of the findings. Proceedings of the study group will be produced and posted on the web sites of both the Global Alliance and the Swedish Embassy of the United States of America.

美国科学促进协会和妇女参与工程方案倡导者网络将在科学和工程劳动力多样化全球联盟的主持下举行一次研究小组会议，以制定一项美国/瑞典联合倡议，改善工程和技术劳动力中的两性平等。瑞典的合作伙伴包括美利坚合众国瑞典大使馆; WITEC -科学、工程和技术领域的妇女; Encounter AB（一家妇女拥有的公司，旨在促进瑞典的平等机会方案）;国家高等教育署（瑞典教育和科学部的一部分）;和瑞典工业、就业和通信部。该项目的具体目标和目的是确定挑战，适当的战略，与合作组织合作，实施行动计划，以便：（1）在高等教育和职业生涯中，为妇女在工程和科学技术劳动力队伍中担任领导职务开辟道路。(2)更好地理解工程设计过程中的性别观点。与会者将包括来自高等教育、商业、政府和专业协会的代表。会前文献和互联网搜索将进行，以确定在这两个领域已经知道的东西和已经存在的项目，在美国和瑞典。短期调查将发送到选定的工程学校，商业和专业协会，以确定在这两个领域的现有战略。在研究小组会议之前，与会者将收到一份关于研究结果的书面报告。研究小组的会议记录将在全球联盟和瑞典驻美利坚合众国大使馆的网站上公布。
