COACh Leadership Workshop for Women in Combustion: July 31, 2010 in Beijing China

1035458 Ellze该奖项为2010年7月31日举办的女性燃烧教练研讨会提供资金，也就是在北京举行的中国燃烧国际研讨会的前一天。Coach研讨会是由俄勒冈大学的Geri Richmond教授开发的，旨在为化学领域的女性提供人脉机会和领导力技能。燃烧研究人员在化学领域工作，但也在其他各种学科工作，研讨会将适应这些需求。该项目是以COACH的成功组织和高效活动为蓝本的。Coach成立于1998年，由来自美国各地的一群化学科学领域的资深女性教师组成，她们对在实现科学界学术界的性别平等方面进展缓慢感到担忧。自1999年以来，Coach为女性教职员工开设了研讨会，教授谈判、沟通和领导技能，使她们能够在职业生涯中取得进步。这些研讨会旨在1)提高实现参与者职业目标所需的沟通和谈判技能，2)教授对学术环境中的女科学家有效的领导技能，3)提供一个与其他学术女科学家建立联系的论坛，4)制定有效的战略，以进行机构和部门改革，以改善环境，招聘和留住女教职员工、学生和博士后。该奖项既有智力价值，也有可能产生更广泛的影响。科学和技术进步将得到参与者之间的互动以及他们在研究和职业发展方面获得的技能的帮助。讲习班将帮助已经在该领域的妇女，但它将进一步帮助下一代研究人员和教育工作者，并缓解妇女在燃烧领域长期代表性不足的问题。

1035458EllzeyThis award provides funds for a COACh Workshop for Women in Combustion to be held on July 31, 2010, the day before the International Symposium on Combustion in Beijing China. The COACh Workshop was developed by Prof. Geri Richmond at the University of Oregon and is designed to provide networking opportunities and teach leadership skills to women in chemistry. Combustion researchers work in chemistry but also in various other disciplines, and the workshop will be adapted to these needs.The project is modeled on the successful organization and highly effective activities of COACh. COACh was formed in 1998 by a group of senior women faculty in the chemical sciences from across the U.S. who are concerned about the slow progress that is being made in reaching gender equity in academia in the sciences. Since 1999 COACh has developed workshops for women faculty that teach skills in negotiation, communication and leadership that empower them to advance their careers. These workshops have been designed to 1) enhance communication and negotiation skills necessary to achieve the professional goals of participants, 2) teach leadership techniques that are effective for women scientists in an academic setting, 3) provide a forum for networking with other academic women scientists, and 4) develop effective strategies for making institutional and departmental change that improves the climate, recruiting and retention of women faculty, students and postdoctoral associates.The award has both intellectual merit and the potential for broader impacts. Scientific and technological advances will be aided by the interaction among participants and the skills they acquire for research and career development. The workshop will aid women already in the field, but it will further aid the next generation of researchers and educators and alleviate the long under-representation of women in the field of combustion.
