2019年度の募集を開始しました

Science Castle was launched in 2012 with the vision of "creating a culture and environment for junior high and high school students to conduct research around the world. In FY2019, under the concept of "meeting fellow researchers," we will create a place where all participants can meet and discuss new research themes and research with their peers, The University will create opportunities for all participants to meet and discuss new research themes and research-related topics with their peers. Discussions with experts based on their own hypotheses and verified results are a step forward in advancing research. In order to discover a new phenomenon or to create something that does not exist in the world, the fellow students who are conducting research together are a great source of strength.

1. a maximum of 120 presenters per conference.

2. 12 oral presentations will be selected for each conference (no change from 2018).

3. 48 poster presentations will be eligible for poster judging on the day of the event.

Judging and discussion on the day of the event

Discussable Poster Presentations: Open discussions with young researchers of master's degree or above will be held to develop their research.

We have been experimenting with mechanisms to support individual junior and senior high school student researchers, such as the Science Castle Research Fund, and have seen various results in recent years, including awards at other academic societies, utilization in recommendations and AO entrance examinations, and applications for utility models. We will make changes to foster and support junior and senior high school student researchers as individuals as a gateway to success for the researchers of the future.
