We will be holding a science fair which allows high school students from all over the world who are aiming to become scientists and engineers the opportunity for scientific exchange. As the globalization of society rapidly continues, international collaboration is becoming more and more important. This year at Ritsumeikan’s 15th Science Fair, it is our desire that you get a 1) strong sense of mission to make active contributions to the world, 2) a valuable network of cooperation across countries, and 3) a big dream to be active for the future. We hope to support the gifted students gathered here the opportunity to spread their wings and fly high into the future.
