Science Castle, an academic society for junior and senior high school students, provides opportunities to present their research, subsidies for research expenses, and research support by about 100 researchers from the fields of medicine, pharmaceuticals, science, engineering, and agriculture for junior and senior high school students who are challenging all kinds of research, from natural science to humanities and social science. We are looking for colleagues who want to learn more about the interesting aspects of research and science and technology, and who want to hone their ability to take on new challenges by themselves, for which no one knows the answers! Any field is welcome, from natural sciences to humanities and social sciences. We are open to all kinds of research, from basic to applied. We are looking forward to receiving your enthusiastic abstract registrations!
