~Scenes from the online presentation~



Presentation scene

An interim presentation was held by 18 students who have been conducting research under the guidance of various laboratories at the University of Tokyo since April. Many questions were received from faculty members at the University of Tokyo, people from companies, and students from the first stage of the program. The discussion was also lively in the Zoom chat section

This event also served as the selection process for representatives to the JST Global Science Campus National Student Research Presentation Meeting, and four students were selected to represent the University of Tokyo. Whether selected or not, we hope everyone enjoys their research activities going forward!
