Date | 2019.11.16 Sat 14:00 - 0:00 |
A talk session will be held for Osaka University graduate students and President Nishio to freely discuss the topic of “My Research, Society, and the World.”
Overview
This talk session will provide participating graduate school students a venue to think about the significance and impact of their research on society and the greater global community, present their thoughts to the President in their own words, and mutually discuss these topics with other participants. We hope that these discussions will allow participants to discover new meaning and significance in their research that they hadn’t yet realized while serving as the impetus for creating new worth for both graduate students and Osaka University as a whole. The latent potential held by each and every graduate school student is an important resource for the creation of innovation at Osaka University, and this talk session is significant in that it aims to manifests this potential. This talk session is a valuable opportunity for graduate students, being both a first for the university and a relative rarity at Japanese universities as a whole. We hope that many graduate students will apply.
