HomeWhile we have seen an increase in participation of females in the workforce, the number of successful female researchers in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields remains low as of today. Therefore, in order to form the foundation for developing excellent female researchers in the STEM fields from Hiroshima University, we will support female students who are motivated to demonstrate their full potential in the science and technology fields.
We will support the ambitions and hopes of the female graduate students who are aspiring to become researchers in the science and technology fields.
