This year marks the 13th anniversary of the Science Castle, which began near Osaka Castle in 2012.

Science Castle 2024 Osaka-Kansai is a conference to create a "super high school-level research community" consisting of 12 oral presentations and 80 posters. Selected presenters are invited to listen to their presentations and receive guidance and encouragement from research coaches and others while making horizontal connections in a group seminar format (online). In recent years, the contestants, partner companies, and RIVANES have held a "Future Workshop" after the competition to support teenage researchers in enriching their ideas.

Abstract submission is scheduled to begin on June 1. Please wait for further information.
