Dear young friends:

We are pleased to announce the upcoming Young Researchers Summer Retreat 2017 in Kyoto. Our world is full of expectations. It is all of you who make the world OMOROI. The purpose of this Young Researchers Summer Retreat is to provide you (students and young research staffs) with an opportunity to freely mix with one another and discuss their present studies and future research goals in relaxed atmosphere away from their laboratories and supervisors in order to stimulate interdisciplinary research activities by student initiative. This is the 11th year of the Retreat and the 9th year that we invite graduate students and young researchers from foreign institutes to participate. Every year our young guests enjoy close communications with others with different scientific and cultural backgrounds.

This retreat will provide you a unique opportunity of world-wide OMOROI experiences. Join us, and make yourself OMOROI.

 It is truly a great pleasure and honor for us to host 11th Young Researchers Retreat (YRR).

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we are very grateful to declare a hearty welcome to all participants of this special event.

 

YRRs have promoted research communication and collaboration for graduate students and young researchers among cross-disciplinary fields.

 

The 11th YRR theme is

 

“Beyond borders”

 

We are very much exited to hold this retreat because we believe that the novel findings, concepts and technical innovation come to us beyond borders of nationalities, cultural backgrounds and academic specialties.

 

The 11th YRR will provide inspiring opportunities thorough wonderful encounters with participants, leading you to pioneer the unexplored fields.

 

The city of Kyoto, this retreat venue, is one of the most famous historical cities in the world. It was founded over 1,200 years ago and was the imperial capital in Japan. Now vestiges of this royal history remain in sites such as Kyoto Gosho Palace. We are sure that you would enjoy Japanese traditional streets and cultural experiences in this city!

 

 

Finally, we hope you will get this wonderful chance.

Let’s enjoy our fortuitous encounters together!
