TOMODACHI-Dow Women’s STEM Leadership and Research Program offers a five-week internship experience tailored to a diverse cohort of 10 female students majoring in STEM in Japan. Our primary goal of this program is to further diminish the gender gap in the STEM fields in Japan while advancing educational equity. During the internship, implemented by and hosted at Rice University, participants delve into the intricacies of international collaboration and engagement between the U.S. and Japan. They also receive hands-on exposure to scientific research practices in the U.S. and opportunities for career exploration, English language enrichment, cultural engagement, and collaboration with American students.

The program at Rice University in Houston, TX runs from February 10 to March 12. A two-week virtual program will take place in November.

This program is generously funded by Dow Chemical Japan Limited.
