OIST COI-NEXT Annual Symposium 2026 Sustaining Innovation Beyond the Lab Date: March 9th, 2026, at 9:30-17:00 Venue: Sydney Brenner Lecture Theater (B250) Target audience: General audience/ open to everyone at OIST and beyond. Registration Deadline: February 23, 2026

In this workshop, you'll learn how to transform research, data, and technology into narrative beats that tell the right stories to the right audience. While the workshop centers on climate communication, the methods introduced are applicable to any research that aims to move people through scientific storytelling. If you're interested in delivering your message beyond the scientific community, we'd love to have you join us.

The 10th OIST–Keio Joint Symposium brings together various perspectives on fluid dynamics, highlighting recent advances across theory, computation, and experiment. Through a series of focused talks and poster presentations, the event spans fundamental flow phenomena, complex and multiscale fluids, and engineering‑relevant applications. This 10th showcase continues a series of events bringing Keio and OIST researchers together to foster discussion and enable innovation through interdisciplinary collaboration.
