Knowledge-based economies always considered the importance of education, especially higher education  Providing statistics and a general picture of higher education of women in Islamic countries can prepare the ground for better understanding to policy makers, planners, executives, experts and analysts of higher education in the Islamic countries. The statistical data would include the following indicators Network of Women Scientists of the Islamic World (NWSIW)

Nowadays, the gap between the developed, developing and less developed countries is widening day by day due to fast scientific and technological changes. Mixing of scientific fields, creation and expansion of interdisciplinary scientific areas, field of study, convergences such as in Nano, Bio, Cognitive and Information technology, have made it feasible for this result which is economical, cultural and social development. In addition it has imposed knowledge management and reorganization of development and change policies in educational system of countries. The member countries of the Islamic Conference must make the idea of “sharing of knowledge is power” as their slogan. But expansion of this idea is dependent on cultural development and exchange of views and approaches. Network of Women Scientists of the Islamic World (NWSIW) Emerging Sciences and Technologies

Knowledge Management “ knowledge is valuable when it is accessible to human beings”. “knowledge management” has become important as a tool which is capable of gathering and organizing the existing knowledge. We need organization culture that provokes cooperation, trust, sharing of knowledge, learning and creativity. Knowledge management is trying to prepare the ground for participation of interactivity among experts. Network of Women Scientists of the Islamic World (NWSIW)

Strengthening expert women of the Islamic world in scientific activities, through: Organizing and establishing e-learning system for special professional programs Organizing pilot networks in different national, regional, and international levels Supporting and facilitating the access to digital and non- digital scientific resources from famous world publisher Planning for knowledge management through: Holding short seminars, workshops, gatherings, conferences and other events in digital and non-digital world Providing educational and research scholarships and grants for expert women candidates such as: Signing bilateral agreements with the Japan Foundation for short term study programs in Japan in humanities for members of the network Network of Women Scientists of the Islamic World (NWSIW)

Establishing special information bank of expert women of the Islamic world in national, regional and international levels and expanding the cooperation among them through different channels of communication such as scientific forum.
