LIVANES Corporation, together with The Chugoku Bank, Ltd. and Sanyo Shimbun, Inc. will hold the "Science Castle 2022 Chugoku-Shikoku Conference".

Science Castle started in Osaka in 2012 as a place for junior high and high school students to present their research, and has since expanded to other parts of Japan and abroad. This year's conference has been expanded to include 12 oral presentations and 65 poster presentations by the next generation of researchers.

REVANES Corporation supports enthusiastic junior and senior high school student researchers in the Chugoku and Shikoku regions. Let's create an as yet undiscovered world together with the Chugoku-Shikoku Region Conference as a starting point!
