Participant comments
Researcher
- It was a good opportunity to learn about companies that I had never heard of or been interested in before.
- I was struggling with a lack of information when looking for a research position as a doctoral student, but I learned a lot, from basic presentation techniques to how to connect with others.
- From the last face-to-face meeting and this online meeting, I was able to gain a wide range of experience in speaking with people from companies (presenting, expressing opinions, and listening to them).
- I enjoyed interacting with people from a variety of backgrounds. Through interactions with companies, I learned a lot about values and ways of thinking that are completely different from my own when it comes to job hunting.
- I felt that the career paths available to PhD graduates were much broader than I had expected.
Enterprise
- The event was extremely useful in identifying talented doctoral candidates.
- I was able to talk with many excellent doctoral students, and it was a very meaningful experience.
- 博士課程の皆様の熱い思いや視野を広げてみようという気持ちに触れて新鮮でした。
- I am very grateful to have met such good people every time.
