Nature Research Academies International Paper Writing Online Workshop

In order to strengthen the research capabilities of the university, the Division of Research and Industry-Academia Collaboration has decided to hold the “Nature Research Academies International Paper Writing Online Workshop” for researchers who are considering publishing their papers in international journals by utilizing the “Project for Strengthening Research Universities” subsidized by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

In this workshop, a lecturer from a well-known integrated science journal (whose native language is English) will give a lecture on more effective academic writing, such as how to improve paper structure and readability.

Through this initiative, we aim to improve the ability to write in English from the perspective of the internationalization of the university, thereby promoting subsequent international joint research and increasing the number of international co-authored papers.
