Program
We provide multiple discussion chances about your research and various hot topics link to interdisciplinary research. During these courses you exchange your ideas with participants from varieties of fields and it might bring you new insights. On the middle day of retreat, you will have excursion to enjoy traditional events or sightseeing in Japan.
Poster Discussion
We ask all participants to prepare a poster (See also Applicant’s preparation.) outlining their research. You can discuss your research with people from different fields. You should prepare your talk and poster simple to understand for researchers in different fields, and focus on the fundamental significance of your work.
Discussion about Interdisciplinary Research
You will have an opportunity to discuss various topics, especially about interdisciplinary research. We will bring up some charming topics to discuss. You would find many interesting idea and thinking way through various perspectives. Discussion in culture of diversity would bring you the exiting moment.
Special Lecture
We organize special lectures of experts to be active in the front lines in the world. The speaker is selected through the organizing committee of students (of Osaka U).
