Experience ofSuperconductivity(by JPS committee)

Domestic Activities◆ “We Love Physics ~ Carrier for Undergradute andGraduate Women Students” (2016/11/19) at The
University of Tokyo in Kashiwa

Continuous encouragement is necessary…

Domestic Activities of JPS Committee◆ Collaborating with the other associations inscience and engineering*EPMEWSE (the Japan Inter‐Society Liaison Association Committee
for Promoting Equal Participation of Men and Women in Scienceand Engineering) since 2002
*More than 84 academic societies*Large‐scale surveys (more than 20,000 scientists and engineers, 4times in 2003‐2016) on gender equality→ submit recommendations to the government towards newgovernment projects (“Activities for Female Researchers”,“Supporting Positive Activities for Female Researchers”, .and “RPD(Restart Postdoctoral Fellowship)”.

International Activities

International Activities◆ WIP in APPC12 (2013) at Makuhari, Chiba in Japan*55 participants from 9 countries*the theme: “positive action” and “networking”.

Conclusion●Networking and Cooperation promote

activities of Women in Physics.
◆EPMEWSE; the proposals to government by large‐
scale survey afford many government projects◆JPS‐JSAP Liaison committee; the cooperativeinternational activities between two societies are very
effective .

●However, the situation on WIP does notchange quickly.
→The continuous actions are necessary.
●Why do not you join the Gender summit 10 at Tokyo?
