  1. Call for attendees for research presentations in English.
  2. Women's Career Strategy Seminar - Registration Open
  3. New arrivals: FResHU Library

This is Nakatsuji from the Women Researchers Support Office. Last week the humidity was so high my hair was all frizzy, so I'm hoping it'll be a little more refreshing this week.

Call for attendees for research presentations in English.

The Office for Supporting Female Researchers holds "Research Presentations in English" to help female researchers improve their English presentation skills and to facilitate research exchange. This not only provides presenters with English presentation training, but also offers attendees a platform to hear about research in various fields and engage in networking.
This year, we finally received an application from someone willing to be a presenter, so the first session has been scheduled. Therefore, we are now accepting applications for attendees.

The benefits for attendees include...

  • Free
  • The instructor's guidance to the presenters was very insightful.
  • You can also learn about research in fields you haven't been involved in before.
  • You can also practice asking questions.
  • You can meet various female researchers, etc.

This is an event you simply must attend! Female faculty members and graduate students are welcome to participate. You can also participate from your own PC. Please see the "Details Page" for more information.
Date and time: April 20th, 2 PM - 3 PM
Presenter: Kyoko Miura, Associate Professor (Institute for Genetic Disease Control)
Application/Details Page

We are currently accepting applications for presenters. Due to various circumstances, we need to hold five more sessions this year, so if you're thinking, "I want to present at an international conference!", please apply immediately. We are also currently experimentally accepting applications from female doctoral students. Please recommend this to any students you know who might need to present in English.

New arrivals: FResHU Library

A new edition of Professor Noriko Shiomitsu's (the "demon of improving the success rate of Kakenhi grant applications") guide to Kakenhi applications was released today. There is one copy in the FResHU Library, so please feel free to use it, especially since it's that time of year for Kakenhi applications.
