Okamura Award for Female Scientists

This award was established with funding from donation to the Education Supporters' Association by Chieko Okamura, a graduate of Osaka University of Commerce, which is one of the roots of Osaka Metropolitan University, to promote support for female researchers.  Inheriting her wish, Osaka Metropolitan University aims to foster the next generation of excellent female researchers and to contribute* to gender equality in the fields of academic research, by honoring female researchers at the University who have produced creative and ambitious works, to contribute gender equality.

*For the purposes of this award, "contribution to gender equality" includes activities that promote gender equality in academic societies, departments, graduate schools, and local communities, as well as activities in which the applicant serves as a role model (e.g., demonstrating her own efforts in research and work-life balance to younger colleagues).
