Advancing BRIDGE (better research, innovation and development for gender equality) through cooperation between universities, industry and society
About this video
Dr Watanabe explains the path taken in Japan to advance gender equality in science and how the 10th Gender Summit – Asia Pacific in Tokyo in 2017 has helped propel these efforts, including the Call to Action issued by JST to mobilize multi-stakeholder efforts for successful implementation of SDGs by adopting the Tokyo Recommendations agreed on at GS10 under name BRIDGE, or Better Research and innovation for Gender Equality. “BRIDGE” is also a metaphor for transferring gender knowledge into SDGs, and for interconnecting gender with other human characteristics to provide a fuller picture of human diversity (Equality 2.0).
