4) Establishment of a “Special Researcher System” for female researchers to encourage them to continue their research (known as the 'Migakazuba Researcher System')
In 2012, the University introduced its own special researcher system (known as the Migakazuba Researcher System) to contribute to the training and securing of highly creative female researchers who will play a key role in the future of academic research in Japan. The system supports the continued research activities of outstanding female researchers and provides opportunities for female researchers to return to research after a career break smoothly.
