What is “Science Crosspoint”?

This is a networking event where researchers and graduate students from Tokyo University of Science can learn about each other’s research and gain new perspectives and opportunities for joint research.
At Science Crosspoint 2025, young researchers and doctoral students will present their research and the possibilities of interdisciplinary research, and through discussions, they will be invited to participate in convergence research.
