LIVANES Corporation will hold "Science Castle 2022 Tohoku Conference" on Sunday, December 18, 2012. Science Castle began 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. The Tohoku Conference was first held in Miyagi Prefecture in 2015, followed by Iwate and Fukushima Prefectures, and this year, the seventh year of the event, will be held in Yamagata Prefecture for the first time. REVANES Corporation supports enthusiastic junior and senior high school student researchers in the Tohoku region. Let's use the Tohoku Conference as an opportunity to create a world we have not yet seen together!

<Introduction of the day's project

Keynote Speech "What Can We See at NanoTerasu, the Next Generation Synchrotron Radiation Facility?"

NanoTerasu, the world's most powerful and advanced next-generation synchrotron radiation facility, is currently under construction at Tohoku University's new Aobayama campus. What will we be able to see using this facility? What will we be able to know?

Junji Muramatsu Professor, Director, International Synchrotron Radiation Innovation and Smart Research Center, Tohoku University, Deputy Director (in charge of Next Generation Synchrotron Radiation Project)

Workshop for Teachers]
Recommendations for D&I research that you can work with - Diversity & Inclusion (D&I) is about studying yourself.

Partner: Benesse Children's Foundation
Location：Planning site A
Implementation time: 16:10-17:00

We will invite Prof. Shinichiro Kumagai of the University of Tokyo, Ms. Miwako Morimura of Komae Daisan Elementary School, and Benesse Children's Fund to share the important perspective of D&I, the concept of "self-initiated research," and to introduce research in the field of D&I that can be conducted in school life and in children's daily activities. We will also introduce that there is research in the field of D&I that can be conducted in school life and in activities around children.
