At our university, as part of the Research University Strengthening Promotion Project, we aim to create a research environment that attracts diverse research talent, as part of our vision to become a "university where the world's best minds come together."
Therefore, the Office for Promoting a Diverse Research Environment will implement a "Research Outline Creation Consulting Support" program to effectively appeal the appeal of one's research to researchers outside of specific specialties, with the aim of promoting collaboration between female researchers at our university and others, such as international collaborative research, interdisciplinary integration, and industry-academia collaboration.
