Joint Symposium to Promote the Active Participation of
Female Researchers
Purpose
Currently, there are various world-class research projects being undertaken in the Chugoku-Shikoku region. These projects help to concurrently display the attractiveness of research, and that of female researchers who are building careers as researchers, to the female undergraduate and graduate students who will lead the next generation.
This Symposium aims to provide a platform where the exchanges between female science and engineering students who are aiming to become researchers and young female researchers in the Chugoku-Shikoku region can be actively promoted.
This event will be held as a hybrid event in order to allow as many people as possible to participate, regardless of whether they are currently in Japan or overseas.
