Diversity Promotion in the Genetics Society of Japan
In 2007, the Genetics Society of Japan appointed a special secretary in charge of promoting gender equality and established a special committee for promoting gender equality. The society is also a member of the Liaison Conference of Academic Societies for Gender Equality.
The Society has 829 members (as of August 2024), of which 201 (24.2%) are female members. While women account for 17.3% of our regular members, 40% of our student members are women. We believe how we can support and nurture the career advancement of this younger generation would be a challenge for the future of the Japanese Society of Genetics.
In April 2025, the name of the committee was changed to the Diversity Promotion Committee and the name of the secretary was changed to the secretary in charge of diversity promotion.

Request for Questionnaire from the Special Committee for the Promotion of Gender Equality of the Genetics Society of Japan
The Genetics Society of Japan is a member of the Liaison Conference of Academic Societies for Gender Equality and has been cooperating with the survey on the current level of activity of female researchers in academic societies. Since 2010, we have also conducted a questionnaire to survey the trends in the society from the viewpoint of human resource utilization, and have received your cooperation.
We will continue to conduct a simple questionnaire at this conference. We will continue to conduct a simple questionnaire at this year’s conference as well, with a total of eight items, each of which can be answered in a selective manner. The answers will be processed statistically, and will not be used to identify individuals. We appreciate your cooperation in completing this survey.
