HIRAKU-Global Annual Conference FY2023

 "Sharing experiences and honing skills: 
The progression of the HIRAKU-Global Researchers through FY2023"

 

Thursday, February 22, 2024
(Online via Zoom Webinar)

 

The HIRAKU-Global Program will hold its Annual Conference for FY2023 as an online event on Thursday, February 22, 2024.

This fiscal year, the eight 2nd Cohort HIRAKU-Global Researchers (HGRs) who were selected in FY2021 have partaken in and received a mid-term evaluation from the HIRAKU-Global Program, and as a result, have been reflecting on their past research activities and reviewing their future goals and action plans. Therefore, within this year's Annual Conference, the 2nd Cohort of HGRs will outline how they will make further strides towards becoming world-class researchers by presenting upon their research vision and future plans. They will also receive comments from their experienced mentors.
Following the presentations, a seminar on the topic of “Science Communication” will be presented by Dr. Irina FILONOVA (the phd whisperer CEO & Associate Fellow, Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)).
