The “2013-14 Presentation on Research Results of the Extracurricular Research Encouragement Project” and “Ceremony for Conferment of Osaka University Future Funds Specialised Education Excellence Awards” were held

On Friday, May 2, the “ 2013-14 Presentation of Research Results of the Extracurricular Research Encouragement Project ” and “ Ceremony for Conferment of Osaka University Future Funds Specialized Education Excellence Awards ” were held at Osaka University Hall on the Toyonaka campus. The Extracurricular Research Encouragement Project was established in 2000 for the purpose of encouraging student-led research. Original and ambitious research projects are selected every year.

The presentations were made to an OU audience of some 170. Following greetings from HIGASHIJIMA Kiyoshi, Education Trustee & Vice President, students from 9 research groups selected as Extracurricular Research Encouragement Projects made presentations about their research results for the last year. A lively question-and-answer session involving the audience followed the presentations.

Trustees, vice presidents, deans, faculty members in the committee for screening Extracurricular Research Encouragement Projects, and students attending the Leading Program in Doctoral Education Presentations screened and commended the highly-rated top three groups.
