The Center for Digital Green-innovation (CDG) and the Gender Equality Office at NAIST have organized a seminar series under the supervision of Dr. Kana Takamatsu of International Christian University (ICU) on the theme “Understanding Gender Expands Science!”. Through the series, we hope that you will think together about the relationship between gender issues and science and technology, the “gendered innovation” currently being promoted around the world, and what kind of action is required in society today.
We hope that all of you who have been thinking, “I think gender issues are important, but I wonder if they have much to do with my research…” will join us. We hope that you will join us and think about “gender issues close to your heart” based on the information obtained from this seminar series, thereby expanding your activities, including research and education. We look forward to your participation.
