[HeKKSaGOn Expansion Program] L-INSIGHT fellows held discussions on trans-disciplinary topics with early career researchers from two German universities. (23 November 2021)

2021.11.10 Events/Seminars

This forum supports next generation of researchers in forming special international and inter-generational connections early in their careers in the hope of creating foundations for them to excel. This is a new initiative that has spined-off from the friendly relationship between German and Japanese universities fostered through the HeKKSaGOn (The German-Japanese University Alliance) framework, which is now in its eleventh year.

Researchers from Kyoto University, Heidelberg University, and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology will gather to discuss five topics proposed by several fellows from L-INSIGHT, a community of early career researchers at Kyoto University.
The fellows believe that these trans-disciplinary topics including research environments and ways of thinking in other spheres of research are important in discussing the development of their future research.

We cordially invite you to the discussions regarding the topics of your choice. Please sign up now to find your new and future connections through this opportunity.
