The 20th Open Seminar took place
The Open Seminar has 20 years of history. For the first time this year, it took place without the qualifying round, so that all participating groups gave presentations for visitors by using their unique posters on the competition day. The presentation area became very vibrant with the start of the competition, and the new Open Seminar ended on a high note.
This
year 32 groups from 22 zemi in the College of IR joined in the competition. As the
College of IR values on the international and various learning, a broad range
of presentation topics were explained and discussed in both Japanese and
English. Guests such as personnel of companies and organizations, alumni, and
faculty members and students in Ritsumeikan University enjoyed listening to their
presentation, left different kinds of feedback, and voted for the best group(please
see below for the result). The feedback has been used for revising and enhancing
their learning toward their graduation research and career development. Thank
you for your participation!
