On the day of the event, a total of eight research fellows (seven long-term, one short-term first-round) who had arrived in Japan in September made self-introductions followed by presentations about their research.
After the presentations, representatives from the researchers’ receiving organizations also introduced themselves, and the five Evaluation Committee members offered greetings and words of encouragement to conclude the conference.
A social gathering was held afterwards, giving researchers from different fields an opportunity to have deeper exchanges. Representatives from the receiving organizations and Committee members also joined in the exchange of opinions, and the event ended as a resounding success.
