Members

To promote Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DE&I), NICT established the Diversity Promotion Office in 2023.
Members from across the organization have come together to work on creating workplace environments and systems where everyone can thrive with confidence.

Director of Diversity Promotion OfficeITAYA Satoko

We aim to create a workplace where the young people who will lead the future would want to work. While each person currently working makes use of their individuality, I hope to create an environment where people can enjoy their work.

ITOH Hiromitsu

People with various circumstances and backgrounds can contribute while expressing their individuality. My hope is to create such a society. To achieve this, it is important to take even a small step forward. We shall start with NICT and put it into practice.

IHARA Aya

An environment that embraces and leverages diverse individuals not only contributes to the well-being of the workforce but also fosters the creation of ICT that can flexibly respond to the needs of a diversifying society, leading to the well-being of society as a whole. We will listen to even the smallest voices and work towards building an environment where everyone can work vibrantly.

IWASAKI Kanon

My ideal is an environment where individuals with various "differences" can work together, without treating those "differences" as special, but in a natural way. To achieve a creative workplace for all NICT staff, the Diversity Promotion Office will sow the seeds and nurture them.

OSHIRO Mitsuru

We will strive to embrace diverse work styles and foster a supportive environment where everyone can work comfortably.

ODASHIMA Kyoka

A workplace where everyone can express their voices and feelings, inspire one another across roles and generations, and fully demonstrate their abilities — from such an environment, new value will be created.

KAFLE Ved Prasad

Fostering a work environment at NICT that embraces diversity in gender, race, nationality, language, culture, and physical ability for collective strength, ensuring equal opportunities for all, and creating a sense of inclusion and support for everyone.

KIMURA Kayoko

Let's respect and understand each other's individuality as human beings, and share opinions within the workplace, considering gender, age, and various positions, to create a better environment at NICT. Nothing will start unless we take action.

SHONO Shiho

Creating an environment where diverse talents (human resources) with different backgrounds and perspectives can flexibly express their creativity enhances the potential of the organization. Together with my colleagues, I look forward to utilizing ICT to create a pioneering future.

SHIRAKANE Sachiko

I am committed to learning and taking action to help create a workplace where diversity can be a strength.

SHIROYAMA Naomi

A time will come when the term "Diversity Promotion" disappears, and diversity becomes the "norm." I hope the next generation will experience such a society. That's why, for now, we will take it step by step. I will work on this together with my colleagues at NICT!

SUGIURA Ayumi

Promoting diversity is essential for the advancement of information and communications technology and for creating a more prosperous society where people of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and values respect one another.
I will remain open-minded, value differences, and actively contribute to promoting diversity.

TAKISHIMA Kazune

I believe that a workplace with diverse working styles leads to diversity. I hope to contribute, even in a small way, to creating an environment where all employees can work at their own pace and in a way that reflects their true selves.

TAKIMOTO Shuuhei

We are committed to this project to ensure that each unique individual is respected, that we come together as a stronger team, and that NICT can continue to contribute to the development of society.

We believe that expressing our own opinions and actively listening to others is the foundation for building an environment where diverse individuals can thrive. We will continue striving to help create a workplace where all employees can be themselves, contribute meaningfully, and embrace one another.

We are committed to promoting diversity to create a workplace where everyone can express their unique individuality and thrive.

We aim to create a workplace where all employees are fairly respected, each can showcase their abilities, and everyone can leverage each other’s strengths. We will continue to take step-by-step actions toward this goal.

NAKAUE Yoshimasa

To embrace others without hesitation and to express oneself. Communication without barriers begins with a shift in each individual's mindset. I aim to pursue the creation of an environment that fosters building a future society together with all people.

NAKAMURA Masayo

Diversity: Reassessing the past norms and moving towards a future where there is not just one answer. Our choices today will shape the future!

NAKAYAMA Kenji

I felt that diversity at NICT was relatively advanced. With the establishment of the Diversity Promotion Office, I sense the organization's genuine commitment to it. I will work hard to make this a better workplace for everyone.

NAGASHIMA Hideaki

The disabilities that disabled individuals have vary from person to person. What they can and cannot do also differs, and these differences can be seen as part of their unique personalities. I want NICT to be an organization that values individuality, regardless of gender, nationality, or disability status.

NISHIZUKA Naoto

I hope to contribute to creating a workplace environment where each staff member and researcher, with their diverse cultures and talents, can confidently and freely showcase their abilities. This will enable the creation of innovations, foster active creativity, and help achieve international competitiveness.

NISHIMURA Ryoichi

I hope to contribute, even in a small way, to fostering a workplace where diversity is naturally embedded and no longer needs to be emphasized.

HARASHIMA Toshiyuki

Through our diversity promotion activities, I hope to help make NICT a vibrant and inclusive workplace where everyone embraces differences and respects each individual.
