2. We are publishing testimonials from Otsuka Prize winners.
As part of our gender equality initiatives, our university has established the "Otsuka Prize" scholarship program to support outstanding female students who aspire to become researchers.
As outstanding students aspiring to become researchers, the Otsuka Prize recipients serve as excellent role models for younger students, and in order to promote graduate school and doctoral studies for women, we have created videos featuring the "Voices of the Award Recipients," which are available exclusively to our university students.
Please listen to the advice of your seniors who are one step ahead.
