-The importance of being aware of gender differences-
We look forward to your participation.
Are you familiar with the concept of “gendered innovation (GI),” which incorporates a gender perspective?
Gendered innovation is an
approach that aims to discover issues that have been overlooked in conventional research and development and find new solutions by actively incorporating a gender perspective in the fields of science, technology, and research.
Its importance has been recognized in Japan, and it is being used in various fields.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion, which are also set out in Kyushu University VISION 2030, are important themes.
By promoting the active participation of women in science and engineering,
it is expected that research and education that incorporate more perspectives and ideas, and development into industry-academia-government collaboration, will be possible. In this course, we will invite top runners in each field
to think and discuss with the general public the importance of thinking with gender awareness and how universities and industry should change.
Why not join us in thinking about what impact a lack of a gender perspective will have on society?
We look forward to your participation.
Target:
The general public, university faculty and students, education-related personnel, and business-related personnel

◆Outline of the lecture◆
“Development of Gendered Innovation Overseas and in Japan”
Narue Sasaki
Visiting Professor, Yokohama National University / Special Advisor to the President (Gendered Innovation),
Specially Appointed Associate Professor, Department of Biological Sciences, Graduate School of Science, The University of Tokyo
Gendered innovation is a coined word that combines “gendered,” meaning based on gender differences, and “innovation,” meaning technological innovation or intellectual creation. In research and development in the field of science and technology, men are often the subjects and standards of research and development, but by taking gender differences into consideration, new discoveries and innovations can be created. In this
lecture, I will introduce what gendered innovation is, using concrete examples, as well as the current status of efforts in Japan and overseas, and consider the future that gendered innovation will open up.
“Data Science and Information Visualization for Gendered Innovation”
Takayuki Ito Professor, Department of Cultural Information Engineering, Faculty of Co-Creation Engineering/Department of Information Science, Faculty of Science, Ochanomizu University
In gendered innovation, data analysis is an important process that supports decision-making and effectiveness verification. Furthermore, in order to understand the results of the data analysis, it is effective to visualize the analysis results on screen. In
this presentation, I will first provide an overview of data analysis and information visualization for gendered innovation. Then, as specific examples, I will introduce the gender bias caused by an AI movie recommendation system and the results of an analysis of the gender differences in the sensation of air conditioning temperature.
“Developing Human Resources in Science and Technology for Gendered Innovation”
Ginko Kono Professor, Gender Equality Promotion Office, Kyushu University
In the West, gendered innovation seems to be more readily accepted than in Japan. This is because there are constant attempts to address gendered innovation, such as ongoing efforts at the primary and secondary education levels since the 1970s and 1980s, recent efforts to reexamine the content and methods of education at universities, and efforts to improve “cold environments” at research and development institutions.
In this lecture, I will introduce practices primarily in Western educational settings, and also consider and propose from an educational sociology perspective human resource development for the implementation and dissemination of gendered innovation in Japan.
