IWISE works to enhance the status of women scientists and engineers from developing countries and emerging democracies and assist their efforts to improve conditions in their communities and countries.

During the three-year period more than 600 mid-career scientists and engineers in Kharkiv participated in our program and served as teachers, career consultants, and volunteers. More than 40 teachers learned new instructional strategies and incorporated them in the courses they taught for our program and also into their regular courses. In many cases they had to learn new subject matter, such as preparing resumes, interviewing skills, etc., and had to learn how to teach this subject matter in six-eight hour courses using new methods targeted to adult learners.
