Creating a network of women—whether it be in the same sector, field or age group, or across different age groups or fields—can be very useful for not only gaining tips for work and life but also solving issues by understanding trends in research and development as well as in society. JAXA is promoting the creation of such networks for women working in the field of space science at home and overseas.
