The World Premier International Research Center Initiative (WPI) was launched in 2007 by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in a drive to build within Japan “globally visible” research centers that boast a very high research standard and outstanding research environment, sufficiently attractive to prompt frontline researchers from around the world to want to work in them. In this event, researchers from WPI institutes will reveal the latest in their cutting-edge researches, and spoke on passion for science. We also offer opportunities for outstanding high school in Miyagi prefecture and USA to share their research through oral presentations.
