[Main Library] Seeking Participants for a talk event in June ”Wakatte-iitomo! (わかっていいとも！)” - One-Minute Research Talks: An Interdisciplinary Exchange Event for fellow students
“Wakatte-iitomo! (わかっていいとも！)” is a talk event where students from humanities and sciences pair up to explain their research.
Participants will act as Speaker and Mentor:
- Speaker: explain their research
- Mentor: liven up the discussion with questions and reactions
The speaker and mentor will discuss in front of the audience, bridging the gap between humanities and sciences.
They are supposed to discuss without using a presentation slide or whiteboard.
The point is devising a plan to explain their research clearly.

We are looking for participants (both speakers and mentors). Applications for speaker positions only or mentor positions only are also welcome.
Subject: Kyoto University students
We’ll be giving away the library’s original tote bag to all speakers and mentors!
This might come in handy for job interviews or poster sessions at academic conferences.
We look forward to receiving your application!
（If there are a large number of applications, we may need to make adjustments.）
