This time, we are excited to host Prof. Kazuki Sakurai from the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw (Poland), who will deliver a talk entitled: “Quantum Measurements at Particle Colliders and Their Applications to New-Physics Searches”

In collaboration with leading venture capital firms, OIST Innovation offers startups and entrepreneurial researchers or students the opportunity to connect directly with venture capitalists for one-on-one mentoring and discussion. Each round begins with an open seminar-style introduction, where participants can learn about the VC firm's investment focus and characteristics. This is followed by private, closed-door mentoring sessions between startups/researchers/students and the VC representatives. The featured VC for this round is Karry Fund (Karry Impact & Innovation Fund) Registration is required. If the number of applicants exceeds the available slots, OIST Innovation will select participants based on the information provided in the registration form and the strategic fit with the VC.

OIST-Keio Showcase Talk Series Vol. 8 "Science Meets Society: Twist, Flow, and Instability" The 8th OIST-Keio joint symposium explores the interplay of fluid mechanics, wave phenomena, and structural transformations, highlighting their impact on science and society. From gravity waves and multiphase reactors to extreme wave events, evaporating drops, and geometric linkages, six talks will showcase cutting-edge research at the intersection of physics, engineering, and applied mathematics. Additional topics will be explored in a poster session. The event aims to foster a dialogue between Keio and OIST researchers, enabling innovation through interdisciplinary collaboration.

OIST will be hosting a Science Talk for Students in Itoman on Saturday, December 13th.
