The Office for Gender Equality has been holding the "ֱapp Women⁺ Let's Create a Network of Researchers" meetings since AY2014 with the main purpose of supporting the career development and networking of female researchers.
This networking event welcomes all researchers, regardless of gender and age and so on, and is being developed with the aim of creating a large network of researchers within the university.
This year, we are going to focus on communication among researchers. We will provide an opportunity for researchers to share and discuss openly about their ideas and challenges in the group divided based on themes and position/status, as well as to develop their network.
