Talk on Women's Life Design is a talk series that aims to inspire future policy leaders to rethink the customs, and ways of thinking that were taken for granted in their own countries by considering social issues (such as human dignity, lifestyle, sex, family status, and the declining birthrate) from a global perspective from the perspective of women's life design, comparing them with foreign examples, and recognizing differences.

We consider the series as international opportunities of government-academia-industry for exchanging idea. Each event will be led by GRIPS international students and will be held in a hybrid format, in-person and online.

As part of industry-academia collaboration, the National Graduate Institute for Policy Studies (GRIPS) participates in the project of Hokkaido University COI-NEXT. Talk on Women's Life Design is conducted in cooperation with the Hokkaido University COI-NEXT and National Dong Hwa University (NDHU) in Taiwan.
