Additional comments

Akita University is promoting a gender-equal environment. The University actively supports female faculty members. The university also prioritizes hiring female faculty when achievements (research achievements, educational achievements, social contributions, etc.) and personal evaluations are judged to be equal. However, this does not allow preferential selection based on gender alone.
In addition, the university has a “research supporter system” in which research supporters are assigned so that female faculty members can balance research activities with childbirth and childcare, and provision of research funding support measures for young female faculty members are being implemented. The “Female Researcher Support Consortium Akita”, which is composed of higher education institutions, has established a system to recognize the outstanding achievements and efforts of female researchers at each institution.

In addition, Akita University has been certified as a “child-rearing support company” and has acquired the next-generation certification mark “Kurumin”.
