Announcement: 2024 Research Showcase scheduled for Nov 22 – Dec 16
AIU’s Research Showcase is an event that began in 2017 under the name “Research Week” 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, the event consisted of in-person poster presentations, but since 2020, we have held it online and in 2022 we started inviting researchers from our international partner universities to present, as well.
This year’s Research Showcase features 8 presentations by AIU faculty members and 10 by researchers from our partner universities overseas.
Once the event begins, presentations will be available on demand via links in the list below. The presentations will be available from 10:00 am, Friday, November 22 until midnight on Monday, December 16, 2024 (Japan time). We hope you enjoy the presentations!
