Founded over 100 years ago, the IEICE has approximately 23,000 members in Japan and abroad. The IEICE holds two academic conferences: the General Conference in the spring and the Society Conference in the fall.

The Society Conference is held as a forum for researchers to gather, present, and discuss their work, with a total of approximately 5,000 people attending the four-day academic conference each year.

• Presentation summary
  • PhD holders are capable of independently managing the entire research and development process, but their employment in the private sector is not yet widespread across all industries. Additionally, it is challenging for engineers in the private sector to earn a PhD while working, making it crucial for companies to have proper understanding and provide them with the necessary support. In this session, based on his personal experience of obtaining a PhD as a working professional, Yuto introduces Mercari’s PhD Support System and discusses how other companies can leverage PhD talent.
