GREAT-Ocha 2014 :

Research Symposium in English by Undergraduate Students on Oct 18th and 19th!

We are recruiting Ocha-dai students who want to participate as presenter in the GREAT-Ocha (Global Research Exchange at Ochanomizu University). [Entry for presentation has been closed as of August 29, 2014]

We will hold the "GREAT-Ocha" October 2014, as one of the planned events by our center. The "GREAT-Ocha" is a research presentation symposium by undergraduate students in English. The purpose is to provide Ochanomizu University’s undergraduate students (Juniors) the opportunity to present their research in English, such as on the subject of their graduation thesis. We set a theme each year (and we plan to alternate themes between humanities and natural sciences). This year's theme is "health and foods --- how science can contribute to." Students from two prominent women's universities overseas and from the women's universities in Tokyo will also present their research. We are planning the international networking session after the presentation session.
