[November 2nd] Add-Venture Forum: Cultivate Your Research Career
It’s Dateyama from Leave a Nest.
I’m reaching out to you about a program that’s perfect for those who love research and want to evolve further as researchers – the “Add-Venture Forum”!
Whether you’re heading into academia or industry, there will be moments where you’ll need to consider your relationship with society as you progress in your research. That’s why we’re holding the Add-Venture Forum, a place where researchers and ventures tackling societal issues can interact and pioneer new research careers.
It was a blast when we held it in the spring, so we’ve decided to bring it back again in November!
Although the program is mainly conducted in Japanese, we welcome challengers who wants to discuss with venture companies and can explore and create future possibilities (some ventures speak English). Why not explore the world beyond your research lab that you won’t find at academic conferences?
