DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION POLICY

The Mathematical Society of Japan respects and promotes diversity through the study of mathematics. Mathematics is an essential aspect of developing societies and human intelligence. We respect diversity so mathematicians under various circumstances can successfully demonstrate their abilities and facilitate their studies. This allows mathematical research not to be constrained by stereotypes and allows free thinking.

We strive to treat each other fairly regardless of age, gender, gender identity or expression, affiliation, origin, race, nationality, religion, health condition or disability so that we do not exhibit inappropriate behaviors. We reject discrimination and harassment, and act based only on professional ethics. We create fair, diverse, ethical environments and respect each other as equals.
