Abstract

In 1999, the Working Group for Women in Physics in Taiwan was registered within the Physical Society of Republic of China (renamed the Physical Society of Taiwan in 2017) and became a formal committee in 2003. Since then, the committee has year by year worked on promoting women physicists and monitoring statistics on progress for improving the status of women in physics in Taiwan. This report addresses the current status of women in physics in Taiwan in recent years. The content covers the percentage of women who graduated from physics and astronomy departments in bachelor's, master's, and PhD programs, as well as the approved science projects granted by the Ministry of Science and Technology for female faculty members in those departments. Finally, the report discusses future steps for improving the status of women in physics in Taiwan.
