OIST Science Challenge is a unique opportunity for participants to extend their scientific education and experience research at OIST. We offer valuable information to help participants prepare for our PhD Program. Through various interactions with OIST faculty, postdocs, and PhD students, the participants will learn about research conducted at OIST, and skills needed to survive and enjoy PhD life. At the end of the workshop, participants will present the submitted presentation slides on the theme relevant to their experience throughout the week.

OIST NetCafé is a casual science information session to introduce the OIST PhD Program, Research Internship, and other workshops. What do cutting-edge research and education look like? What are the criteria and necessary qualifications to get into graduate school? What are the career options after graduation? During the OIST NetCafé, admissions staff and current PhD students will meet you online to answer all your questions and share their stories about their studies at OIST.
