AIU Research Week is an event that began in 2017 to allow AIU faculty and students to present the results of their research and share them with the internal and external community.
Through the 2019 academic year, presentations were made through poster exhibits, but from the 2020 academic year, the event moved to an online event.

This year, 14 groups of 21 faculty, staff, and students from Akita International University and 11 groups of faculty members and students from partner universities abroad will present their research results.

Please find a link to the presentation from the following list.
