Female Asian scientists lead eco-friendly science technology
[Anchor]
One of the biggest globally pressing issues these days is that of environmental destruction caused by scientific advancement. Nevertheless, it is difficult to halt the progress of science and technology. So female scientists who represent Asia gathered together to stress the importance of environmentally-friendly technology. Olivia Hur went to meet with the scientists.
[Reporter]
Female scientists representing 10 Asian countries including Korea, Japan, China, Indonesia, Thailand have gathered.
They gathered to refuse science and technology that destroy nature, and to exchange opinions on environmentally-friendly science and technology that could help reverse environmental destruction.
The 2011 Asian Female Eco Science Technology Forum was held for two days from Nov. 7 at the Westin Chosun Hotel in Seoul.
Attended by Choi Soon-ja, Chairman of the Korean Female Science Technology Association and other high-profile officials, as well as female scientists from 10 Asian countries, the forum designated ecological science and technology and community values as its main topics.

~ Women in Asia in particular have made little headway in science and engineering. So we invited these young women to Korea so they could present their research, exchange information and share their dreams through this forum.
The highlight of the forum was Alice Huang, Chair of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, who gave a speech on the issue of 'Diplomacy and Diversity for science.'

~ I think that sometimes, people from different backgrounds and different cultures, as well as different genders, can bring a perspective to working on scientific problem that helps one to think a little better about other ways of solving a problem, new ways of solving a problem.
In addition, there was a research presentation on producing a prosperous life through collaborative knowledge, followed by presentations on convergence technology, green businesses and the education of women and leadership.
Female scientists, putting values of harmony and subtlety on the forefront, have rolled up their sleeves for the progress of eco-friendly sciences and technology. The forum is expected to serve as a stepping stone for the co-existence of nature and science and technology.
아시아 여성 과학자, 친환경 과학기술 이끌어
[앵커멘트]
최근 과학기술의 발달 인한 환경파괴가 세계적인 의제로 대두되고 있습니다. 하지만 과학 기술의 발전을 멈출 수는 없는 상황입니다. 이에, 아시아를 대표하는 여성 과학자들이 친환경 과학기술의 필요성을 강조하기 위해 모였습니다. 그 현장을 박세정 기자가 취재했습니다.
[리포트]
한국과 일본, 중국, 인도네시아, 태국 등 아시아 10개국을 대표하는 여성 과학기술인들이 한자리에 모였습니다.
자연을 훼손하는 지금까지의 과학기술을 거부하고, 파괴된 환경을 회복시켜 우리의 삶에 변화를 불러 올 친환경 과학기술에 대해 의견을 나누기 위한 것입니다.
지난 7일부터 9일까지 이틀간 웨스틴 조선호텔에서 열린 '2011 아시아 여성 에코과학기술 포럼'이 그것입니다.
최순자 한국여성과학 기술단체 총연합회 회장을 비롯한 많은 내외 귀빈과 아시아 10개국의 여성 과학인들이 참석한 가운데 열린 이 포럼은 생태과학 기술과 공동체적 가치가 주제입니다.
[인터뷰- 최순자 회장 / 한국여성과학기술단체 총연합회]
~ 아시아 지역의 여성들이 특히 과학과 엔지니어링 분야에서는 굉장히 취약합니다. 그래서 젊은 여성들을 한국으로 초대해서 각 나라의 대표자들의 그들의 연구 성과를 발표하고 서로 소통도 하고, 비전을 실현하고자 하는 꿈을 갖게 하기 위해 포럼을 개최하게 되었습니다.
특히 이번 포럼에서는, 엘리스 황 미국 과학진흥회 회장이 '과학을 위한 외교와 다양성'이라는 주제로 강연을 펼쳤습니다.
[인터뷰- Alice Huang 회장 / 미국 과학진흥회]
~ 저는 국가와 문화가 다르고 성별이 다른 사람들이 모이면 새로운 시각을 제시할 수 있다고 생각합니다. 특히 과학 문제를 해결하는데 있어서는 더욱 그렇습니다. 문제를 해결하기 위한 새로운 방법을 제시할 수 있는 것이죠.
