Workshop - "How can education and research contribute to human life innovation ? Focus on women’s contributions"

Un workshop intitulé "How can education and research contribute to human life innovation ? Focus on women’s contributions" est organisé jeudi 21 et vendredi 22 septembre 2017, au Collège doctoral européen, à l'occasion du 15e anniversaire Unistra-Ochadai. In the 21^st century, either in France or in Japan, along with the changes in the social structure due to changes in the population structure (aging) as well as to the acceleration of globalization, we are faced with new social challenges. How can academic researchers contribute to find solutions for these issues? In this workshop, physical and environmental aspects will be studied by life sciences and living sciences, while the psychological and social aspects will be analyzed by human development sciences and education sciences. We will discuss our strategies of how we could create innovative solutions to maintain good health and mind as well as to enrich living environment, which could finally contribute to society. The workshop will be organized to celebrate the 15th anniversary of exchanges between Ochanomizu University and Université Louis Pasteur/Université de Strasbourg. Ochanomizu University (Ochadai) was founded in 1875 as Tokyo Women's Normal School, Japan's first institution of higher education for women, offering highly specialized education in small groups. Since then, a great number of women graduates have demonstrated excellence while dedicating themselves to many disciplines in academic research, education, industry, government, and media. For these reasons  we choose to promote specifically the studies of women's researchers in the considered fields.   Entrée gratuite, sur inscription obligatoire
