On the occasion of the 80th
anniversary of its founding, Osaka University will hold important
anniversary events and open lectures on its campuses as part of its
commemoration. Two exciting kick-off events that will be held without
running up costs are commemorations of the 200th anniversary of OGATA
Koan's
birth and the 100th anniversary of Kaitokudo's founding.
Osaka University plans to hold a variety of anniversary
events. As a
prelude to the anniversary year, exhibitions and symposiums were
held during the 2010-2011 academic year.
Major events
Please note:
- Due to the Great East Japan Earthquake and its aftermath, certain events were cancelled, others postponed or modified.
- Furthermore, unless otherwise specified, all dates are in 2011.
