Women PhDs’ Opportunities and Expectations as Future Global Leaders
Our program, “Fostering long-term creativity and innovation with science and technology disciplines based on Ochanomizu spirit ‘Migakazuba’ in the next generation of global leaders”, was launched in 2013 with the aim of fostering global leaders in science and engineering with the basic skills of physics, mathematics, and computer science. Since then, it has been producing graduates with global leader competencies, who are now active in industry, government and academia.
In this symposium, alongside people actively involved in our program during the span of 7 years, we will explore new opportunities and expectations for women PhDs who aim at becoming leaders of science and engineering in the future.
