Division of Graduate Studies will hold the following event with the L-INSIGHT and KURA. We look forward to your active participation.

Introduction

In recent years, faced with the emergence of global agendas, many early career researchers may be turning their attention to solving social issues in the international society through their research themes and career. In this series, early career researchers who are active on the global arena will share their perspectives based on their own experiences as examples and discuss with participants strategies on how to look forward to careers and research issues balancing between the whole and the individual and between competition and coexistence.
This will be an informative and learning opportunity for graduate students who want to challenge themselves in an international environment and early career researchers who are faced with the challenges of internationalization in their laboratories amidst a recovery in the international flow of people.
