This program offers seminars for the general public to experience the latest topics in science and technology. Starting in 1994, these seminars have been held 19 times thus far, inviting Nobel prize recipients, researchers involved in cutting edge research, and recipients of Kurata Grants, our research grant project, as lecturers.
In our seminars, we always take up hot topics from diverse fields such as medicine, engineering, life sciences, earth and space sciences, and information technology, and explain them in an easy-to-understand manner, with the aim of making people of all ages feel the fun of science and the importance of seeing things through the eyes of science.
