International Symposium onTracking Careers of Doctoral Graduates
-International Frameworks and Surveys in Each Country-
(February 27, 2013 13:00～17:30)

The objective of the symposium is to highlight the importance of tracking the careers of doctoral graduates. Although doctorate holders are important for research and innovation, their career paths are unclear. Data concerning their careers would be useful for policymaking in human resources and economics.
The National Institute of Science and Technology Policy (NISTEP) invites key persons in this field to share their visions. In the symposium, key speakers will make presentations in regard to tracking the careers of doctoral graduates and evidence-based human resource policies. In addition, Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) will explain current reform policies for graduate schools. NISTEP will summarize the plan for a new database of doctoral graduates. We look forward to your attendance.
