Ishikawa High-Tech Conference Center
This event is a collaborative initiative between Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), aimed at advancing new research developments in Gendered Innovation through the integration of both institutes’ strengths in advanced science and technology.
Gendered Innovation offers critical perspectives not only for promoting femtech but also for applications in drug discovery, medical technologies, and materials development. Incorporating viewpoints on gender and broader diversity from the earliest stages of basic research is key to enhancing the quality and value of science. It also serves as a foundation for sustainable research and development that extends through applied research and ultimately contributes to social impact.
In particular, Gendered Innovation is gaining global attention as a framework aligned with Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and with the promotion of fairness in research practices.
By bridging diverse fields such as quantum science, materials science,
and AI—alongside OIST’s core strengths in neuroscience, biology, and environmental science—this event seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration through the fusion of advanced research domains.
The event aspires to create a platform where researchers from both institutions can share knowledge, explore emerging challenges, and shape new possibilities for future-oriented, transdisciplinary research.
