All Nippon Diversity Network Platform 音声読み上げ

The University of Osaka, together with IBM Japan, will collaborate to develop the new data infrastructure which will
become the foundation for the All Nippon Diversity Network Platform. The three main purposes of this Platform will
be to gather, analyze and share valuable information. 

The Science Council of Japan will collaborate with The University of Osaka to conduct a survey to universities and
Academic Associations.  In 2018, data was collected through a survey targeting universities and research institutions.
IBM Japan and The University of Osaka will conduct surveys targeting corporations to gather multifaceted
perspective data on female researchers and their research environment. The data gathered will be analyzed and
evaluated using sophisticated tools to identify insights.

In addition, the All Nippon Diversity Network Organization will collect information and best practices from participating
institutions. 

The All Nippon Diversity Network Platform website is managed independently with no influence from The University
of Osaka. Through this website, relevant articles from prominent writers, information on regional block activities,
examples and practices from participating institutions and useful information from corporations and institutions
including the Science Council of Japan, will be shared nationwide.

Through this structure, an online community will be created to promote dialogue between the network of universities
and corporations, also connecting students with university and corporate researchers. This network is expected to
become a self-sustaining autonomous network that will contribute to our nation’s realization of a diverse research
environment.
