2010 Science Cafés at Machikaneyama

2010-6-21 (Mon) - 2010-7-7 (Wed) Science, Technology 

How about enjoying a "Science Café" at the Museum of Osaka University on a Saturday afternoon? The Science Café events are a platform for students to directly discuss science topics with researchers.

The Science Café started 3 years ago in the hope that it would narrow the gap between specialists and the public. The previous cafés have ended on a high note with great attendance. It is hoped many will attend these events.

Won't you join one of these Science Cafés?
