Diverse perspectives are the cornerstone of scientific development, and the promotion of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI) is essential for the next generation of science. What is needed to create a research environment suitable for the coming era, and what are the barriers and challenges that hinder this? In this symposium, researchers in the fields of developmental biology, stem cell biology, and basic medicine will gather from Japan and abroad, with an inverse gender ratio, to discuss these issues and their research. As a model for contributing to the local and international community through science, we will share diverse perspectives and provide inspiration for achieving gender equality and promoting diversity in the scientific community from Kumamoto University. Anyone is welcome to participate.
