One of the reasons why female researchers suffer from developing their research is that there is no time to exchange with other researchers for childcare and nursing care, and also the collaborative research is difficult to carry out. At the “Working Group of Women’s Universities in Kansai”, we are holding an exchange meeting of various research fields as an attempt to promote collaborative research. At the meeting, researchers from different fields gather together and exchange opinions from each other’s point of view on their research findings, so that we can lead to unexpected collaborative research.
In February 2016, “Kickoff exchange meeting of various research fields” was held at Mukogawa Women’s University, and “Exchange meeting of various research fields” is held twice a year after that.
