HIRAKU-Global Annual Conference FY2024
"Maneuvering through the era of digitalized world:
HIRAKU-Global Researchers’ journey FY2024"
Friday, February 21, 2025
1:00pm-5:00pm (JST)
(Online via Zoom Webinar)
The HIRAKU-Global Program will hold its Annual Conference for FY2024 as an online event on Friday, February 21, 2025.
This academic year, the six 3rd Cohort HIRAKU-Global Researchers (HGRs) who were selected in FY2022 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 3rd 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, this year's keynote address will be delivered by Associate Professor FUNAMORI Miho from the National Institute of Informatics, titled "Open Science, the magic word—The changing nature of the academic sphere."
We look forward to the participation of Early Career Researchers (ECRs), from doctoral students/postdocs to young faculty members from any fields, who are striving to be world-class researchers or looking to broaden their horizon. We also welcome all of those who are interested in fostering ECRs.
