The goal of the project is to set up a platform for research-policy dialogues on gender equality in the context of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and the post-2015 framework, as well as on wider regional gender equality related issues.
Its members have been asked to reflect on and reinvent the construction of peace founded on justice, respect for human rights, gender equality and solidarity in the context of globalization, and the challenges its poses, such as climate change, management of resources and ethical and economic issues, to which we must respond by consistently using the strength and impact of dialogue.
The debate was attended by some 100 professors and students, and focused on current challenges in gender equality in sciences and education from Japan's perspective and in the wider international context.
