In order to nurture the growth of female global leaders, which is the main mission of our university, we established the Research Organization for the Promotion of Global Women’s Leadership in April 2015. The Center for Leadership Education and Research, which had been the university’s base for research and education for training leadership skills, was reorganized into the Institute for Global Leadership within the Research Organization for the Promotion of Global Women’s Leadership.

Our university was founded in 1875 as Tokyo Women’s Normal School, Japan’s first institution of higher education for women, and then became Tokyo Women’s Higher Normal School. Building on our 150-year tradition, our mission is to create female leaders who have a global perspective and can excel in various fields. The Institute for Global Leadership has been engaged in various projects to the end.

First, we have developed the curriculum of our university and established a range of courses in order to create the next generation of global female leaders.

Second, we are also engaged in a variety of education programs such as a student overseas research program, symposiums and lectures about leadership theory, and education courses for working women who want to advance their careers.

Third, as a university-wide movements to encourage gender equality, we have implemented a project which aims to support female researchers and develop a work environment that allows both men and women to have diverse work styles in order to realize a society where diversity is valued. For example, we have always taken on new programs such as an on-campus support system to assign research assistants to researchers who are expecting, have a newborn or are caring for family members, and an original system for a research fellowship (called Migakazuba Researchers).

The institute aims to contribute to the university’s mission of realizing a gender-equal society as a national women’s university, by unlocking the potential of female leaders in order to promote and accelerate their international and social success.
