Participant comments

Researcher

• Naturally, I learned that there are differences in what companies look for in PhD candidates, but there are also commonalities, which gave me some ideas about what to acquire in a PhD course.
• Even after searching online, I couldn't really find any companies that were doing what I wanted to do, so I was extremely grateful to have the opportunity to speak to them directly and learn that a company I had never expected was conducting research in the direction I wanted to pursue.
• I was able to interact with people from various companies and it was a very valuable experience that broadened my horizons. I also had presentation practice and interviews, and learned a lot about how to promote myself.

Enterprise

• It was a very meaningful meeting as students from unexpected fields became interested in our company.
• The Akaiito-Kai students were generally of a high level and it was a very rewarding experience.
• I hope to continue to have many encounters with people from all walks of life, both humanities and sciences.
• A lot of time was allocated to poster sessions and booth sessions, and I was able to fully interact with the students, which was very meaningful. I'm glad I was able to participate.
