Scientific projects led by female intellectuals not only contribute valuable academic insights but also address real-world challenges, promoting sustainable societal development. However, to further enhance the role of women in scientific research, stronger support from policies and the scientific community is essential. The article also highlights: “Expanding research funding for women will provide them with additional resources to undertake groundbreaking scientific projects. At the same time, strengthening collaboration between universities, businesses, and research organizations will bridge the gap between theory and practice, enhancing the applicability of scientific research.”
