On Saturday, November 2nd, the Japanese Center for Research on Women in Sport (JCRWS), Juntendo University will hold the International Symposium to commemorate its 10th anniversary this year.
In part 1, we will review the trajectory of JCRWS since its establishment in August 2014, report on research results, and hold a panel discussion to promote further research and public awareness activities in the future.
In part 2, we will invite the global executives of the International Working Group on Women and Sport (IWG), the only organization that deepens discussion from an international perspective, to discuss global standards and what Japan should aim for.
This international symposium is a valuable opportunity to learn about the women in sport movement in Japan and overseas. If you are involved in or interested in women in sport, please attend this symposium.
