Suzukake Science Day 2024 Suzukake Science Day 2024

Suzukake Science Day is back for 2024 and will take place on Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12. We plan to hold a hybrid event that can be enjoyed virtually but is primarily focused on in-person participation at Suzukakedai Campus.

Expanding on the achievements of last year, there will be a series of lectures alongside active participation from 32 laboratories, predominantly offering face-to-face experiences. These labs will open their doors to showcase Tokyo Tech's pioneering research spanning diverse fields such as materials around us, common diseases, microorganisms, as well as AI and interfaces.

Suzukakedai Library will also be open to all, and various campus activities are planned throughout the two days, including student performances such as concerts and juggling displays, engaging experiment sessions for children, food stalls, and other entertainment.

Simultaneously, a hybrid open campus will run alongside the event, featuring informative sessions covering 6 graduate schools and specialized sessions for individual schools. Attendees can anticipate talks by Tokyo Tech students, providing valuable insights into campus life and academic pursuits. Particularly, the School of Life Science and Technology will host an information session tailored for prospective undergraduates, presenting an ideal opportunity for those considering studying at Institute of Science Tokyo (currently Tokyo Tech) and individuals seeking a glimpse into campus life.

Join us to experience the forefront of scientific exploration and technological advancement at Suzukake Science Day!
