AIP Conference Proceedings: Women in Physics/ 7th IUPAP International Conference on Women in Physics
There are two major academic societies related to physics in Japan: The Japan Society of Applied Physics (JSAP) and The Physical Society of Japan (JPS). This paper introduces current topics on diversity and related issues in both academic societies. The most impressive event is that woman members assumed the presidents in these two societies: Professor Mutsuko Hatano for JSAP (2020-2021 FY) and Professor Setsuko Tajima for JPS (2021 FY). This is the first time for JSAP and the third time for JPS among 34 and 59 successive presidents, respectively. Both of them have a common career path that they moved from industry to academia. It is expected that those presidents not only promote activities related to gender equality, diversity and inclusion in each society but also promote whole activities and open a new era from the women’s viewpoints.
