"Get Solid Science! ~Let's Talk with Senior Graduate Students~" is a two-part event where you can listen to lectures by female researchers conducting cutting-edge research at universities and experience what kind of research is being done there. In the latter half of each session, there will be a roundtable discussion where you can chat with senior female science students while enjoying tea!
Initially, two sessions have been scheduled: Saturday, October 21st and Thursday, November 23rd (National Holiday). You can apply for one session or both. Please see the details for each session below and apply! (Please note that if there are many applicants, a lottery will be held.)

"A World Expanded by Image Processing: Cutting-Edge Research Leading to an Exciting Future"
Have you ever seen those photo booth apps that enhance your eyes and skin, or those apps that let you superimpose dog ears and noses onto your face? These use computer-based image processing technology, but cutting-edge image processing research is generating new discoveries in much broader fields, including medicine and planetary exploration. Let's explore such research and research that will enable "future information access."

After walking through the gaps between the buildings for a short distance, you will see the tall "Graduate School of Information Science" building on your right.

What kind of doctor would you want to see when you're feeling unwell? Is a doctor who simply cures your illness sufficient? Let's experience the feelings of both a doctor and a patient through role-playing!
