Abstract

　Industry plays a key role in research, development and innovation. More than half the research in Japan is carried out by the private sector, yet only 7% of industrial researchers are women and their opportunities to progress to senior level positions are minimal.<br>　In order to attract more women scientists and engineers to industry, and to keep and promote them there, in this paper, I will examine the unequal situation surrounding them in industry, and demonstrate activities of the COSMOS community, for the promotion of the women engineers, created by IBM-Japan; the top-down & bottom-up community offers them mentoring, role models, workshops, and Web Wiki site.<br>　Japanese industry should come to appreciate the merits of a more gender-equal approach to R&D; deeper studies need to be provided, as the Women in Science and Technology (WiST) highlighted that positive female promotion could bring good record of business.
