Creating an environment of opportunity
With a global increase in demand for female researchers in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), Tokyo Tech is working hard to ensure a study and research environment where all women can freely immerse themselves in their interests. The percentage of female Tokyo Tech students is gradually increasing, currently standing at 12% in the Department of Chemistry, 25% in the Department of Biotechnology, and 30% in the Department of Architecture and Building Engineering (as of May 2015).
Most of these students go on to secure research or other positions at educational organizations, research institutes, and private sector companies. The Institute s Gender Equality Center
Melbourne, located in the southeastern Australian state of Victoria, is a city of academic importance comparable to the likes of London, New York, and Paris. A powerhouse with a long history in the region is the University of Melbourne, a Tokyo Tech partner university.
Internationally renowned academic institution
The founding of the University of Melbourne dates back to 1853, half a century before the establishment of the federal government of Australia in 1901. It is the second oldest university in the country, and has been home to eight Nobel laureates more than any other Australian university. Alumni include numerous Australian prime ministers and other influential figures. Melbourne consistently ranks highly in world university rankings, and its secure, pleasant environment attracts many international students every year. In 2016, roughly 12,000 students from 130 countries were studying there, making up 26 percent of the student population.

Contrary to the high disaster risk, the number of people in developing countries researching disaster prevention is extremely low. This is dependent on a country s stage of development. When the country has little to spare, there are not enough public funds to be put toward disaster prevention, the environment, or other fields which hardly produce direct economic value.
