UTalk is a cafe event regularly held on the second Saturday of every month at “UT Cafe BERTHOLLET Rouge” inside the University of Tokyo Interfaculty Initiative in Information Studies’ Fukutake Hall. the purpose of this event is to act as an interface between the University of Tokyo and the society at large for knowledge sharing
Researchers of the university active in various fields are invited to each event as guest speakers, and they talk about the details of their research such as research methods and their perspectives, as well as relevant topics. UTalk offers a lot of time to interact with the guests, and the casual, teatime-like atmosphere helps them to enjoy spending with all other participants. This project started in April 2008, and UTalk events have been held more than 100 times as of October 2017. Our website gives monthly updates on the guest speakers’ talk and a summary of the meetings (https://fukutake.iii.u-tokyo.ac.jp/utalk/（Japanese）).
