On Friday, November 15th, we held a global networking seminar, "MEETUP for Global Networking," in the Human Resources Development Headquarters conference room.
This seminar is being presented by the Office for Supporting Female Researchers.WinGS (Women in Global Science) Global Networking Award as well as the SG-FResHU Support (subsidy for the cost of inviting overseas researchers) Two female researchers, past recipients/supporters of the award, gave presentations on international collaborative research and networking.
The two people who shared their stories with us were Professor Kimiko Kuroki (Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences), recipient of the 2015 SG-FResHU Support Award, and Professor Atsuko Araki (Center for Environmental Health Science Research and Education), recipient of the 2016 WinGS Global Networking Award.
In addition to sharing her own experiences, such as how research exchanges began and how they developed into collaborative research, she also spoke about the mindset and actions needed to build and utilize networks.
The specific and insightful presentations were very interesting, and participants asked questions throughout, making it a lively seminar.
We received feedback from participants that they found it very helpful.
Thank you very much, Professor Kuroki, Professor Araki, and all the participants!
