【Event Ended】Research Week 2022

AIU Research Week is an event that began in 2017 to allow AIU faculty and students to present the results of their research and share them with the internal and external community.
Through the 2019 academic year, presentations were made through poster exhibits, but from the 2020 academic year, the event moved to an online event.

This year, 14 groups of 21 faculty, staff, and students from Akita International University and 11 groups of faculty members and students from partner universities abroad presented their research results. Thank you to all of our presenters and to everyone who watched the presentations!

While abstracts are still available, presentations were only available until December 5, 2022. Some presentations remain available in the Research Week archives.

*Each presentation is provided in English.
