Session 2: The relationship between collaborations and career
This session will be a part where English-speaking researchers and non-English-speaking researchers will exchange their opinions about the challenges and possibilities of collaboration work across positions, disciplines, affiliations, nationalities, or cultures. For inter-national collaboration, English is necessary. And for international students studying in Japan, there may be double challenges or possibilities due to the requirement to conduct research and publish the results in Japanese. Also, Inter-discipline, Inter-university collaboration require another kind of challenges. We will have discussions to share our experiences, challenges or hopes to collaborate with various researchers or friends.
