2024年4月25日・26日にOISTで開催されるカンファレンス「OIST-Lifetime Startup Elevate 2024」内で開催されるピッチコンテスト「Pitch Elevate」に出場を希望する、ヘルスケア／サステナビリティ領域のスタートアップを募集します。

OIST Innovation opens its doors to OIST community every Friday.

This brownbag session will introduce educators to tools and practical tips for creating effective and engaging online learning environments using the Zoom platform. Attendees will leave this session with actionable suggestions that they can immediately implement into their own online teaching.

琉球大学やOISTにおける技術シーズを基にしたスタートアップの創出と成長を促進する持続的な体制と仕組みづくり、そして実際のスタートアップ創出と成長の事例の創出に貢献することを目的として、2024年3月19日から3月23日にかけて、琉球大学とOISTの職員が、ディープテックスタートアップが集う世界的なカンファレンス「hello tomorrow Global Summit 2024」や、その他のパリ周辺のスタートアップ支援拠点を視察しました。本視察の成果を報告する場として、3月27日（水）16時から、琉球大学ラボにて報告会を開催します。 

Speaker: Dr. Philipp David Lösel, The Australian National University (ANU), Canberra, Australia

Seminar, as part of Thematic Program on Response Diversity Language: English (no interpretation). Target audience: Students and Researchers from related fields. Freely accessible to all OIST members and guests without registration (also via Zoom).

“JIZAI Body: beyond human limits” by Dr. Inami, Monnai and Maekawa, RCAST, The University of Tokyo.  Hosted by Cybernetic Humanity Studio (OIST - Sony CSL collaboration)

This interactive workshop will begin with Dr. Tan framing the current state of gender equity in STEM, including progress that has been made, challenges that remain, and efforts to support women in STEM. In the second part of the workshop, C-Hub Director Dr. Kathy Takayama will guide us in using a systems thinking approach to collaboratively identify concrete pathways towards change within the local OIST environment and beyond. Workshop participants will leave this session with stronger social and professional connections with colleagues and with greater awareness of local and global challenges and priorities for improving gender equity in STEM.

OIST, in collaboration with UC Santa Barbara, is hosting a groundbreaking symposium entitled "Materials of Tomorrow: Harnessing Responsiveness, Intelligence, and Sustainability." This event will bring together leading researchers to explore cutting-edge advancements in material science. The symposium is structured into four Sessions, each delving into crucial topics such as unconventional electronic states, stable charge-separated states in organic semiconductors, energy technologies with polymers, and sustainable and responsive materials design. The discussions will underscore the importance of interdisciplinary approaches and the urgent need for sustainable solutions in materials science.

OIST Innovation opens its doors to OIST community every Friday.

During this brownbag session, Dr. Tan will describe her professional journey from graduate school studying neuroscience to her current position in higher education leadership. She will discuss some of the work that she does and will offer advice to trainees interested in further exploring career opportunities in the teaching / higher education administration space. Dr. Tan will be joined by Dr. Ian McLachlan, a Scientist at the Boston area-based Rgenta Therapeutics, who will similarly describe his career trajectory and his work in the biotech industry. Dr. McLachlan earned his PhD in Neurobiology at Harvard University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in neuroscience at MIT before beginning his current role at Rgenta.
