【Event Ended】 Research Showcase 2023

AIU Research Showcase is an event that began in 2017 under the name “Research Week” to allow AIU faculty and students to present the results of their research and share them with the internal and external community. Through the 2019 academic year, presentations were made through poster exhibits, but from the 2020 academic year, the event moved to an online event.

In 2023 we plan to hold two Research Showcase events. This first Research Showcase featured 5 groups of 14 total AIU faculty and collaborators who were awarded President’s Project funds during Academic Year 2022.

While abstracts are still available, presentations were only available until June 16, 2023. Some presentations will be added later to the Research Showcase archives.

During the event, presentations were available on-demand. The Presentations will be available from 10:00 a.m., Monday, June 5th, 2023 until midnight, Friday, June 16th, 2023 (Japan time).

*Each presentation was provided in English.
