S-cubic Program

Unlike Akaiito-Kai, where companies visit our university, doctoral researchers visit one or two companies with similar business activities. Participants can give presentations on their research and receive direct questions and comments from corporate researchers. This is an event designed to directly match the seeds and needs of industry and academia.

Unlike Akaiito-Kai, the company selection is limited to a specific industry, so in-depth discussions can be held among people with high expertise, and high-quality matching can be expected. Also, unlike Akaiito-Kai held in Sapporo, doctoral researchers visit companies, so more corporate researchers can participate, which is why it is well-received by companies.

Eligible Participants

• プレゼンテーション演習を受講済みであり、企業と情報交換を希望する博士人材

Please note that participants will be selected based on a thorough review of their motivation for applying.
