You do great research. So how do you tell the world about it?
The University of Tokyo Division for Strategic Public Relations has organized a half-day seminar on the Hongo Campus about promoting your research to the world. This English-language event is open to all researchers and students at the University of Tokyo and aims to discuss ways for them to communicate their research results to a wider audience beyond the boundaries of their disciplines, as well as the significance of outreach activities.
