Urgent! Seeking attendees for our English presentation seminar.

This is a bit short notice, but we will be holding an English presentation seminar, "Research Presentation in English," next week on Tuesday, November 29th, from 12:00 to 13:00. We are now accepting applications for attendees.

The lecture is open to any female researcher, graduate students or above. Although the lecturer will be presenting via monitor, watching (and listening to) their precise guidance to the presenters will be very educational. In addition, there will be opportunities to discuss (ask questions about) the presentations in both English and Japanese, so attendees will have the opportunity to gain experience asking questions in English.Feel freeIt can also be stacked on top of other things.

This is also an interesting opportunity to exchange research ideas with female researchers within the university. Please feel free to join us during your lunch break!

Date and Time November 29th (Tue) 12:00 – 13:00
Place Conference Room, 2nd Floor, Building 2, General Research Building, Central Campus
