GREAT-Ocha 2016 :
Research Symposium in English by Undergraduate Students on Oct 29th and 30th!
We will hold the "GREAT-Ocha" December 2016, as one of the planned events by our center. The "GREAT-Ocha" is a research presentation symposium by undergraduate students in English. The purpose is to provide Ochanomizu University’s undergraduate students (Juniors) the opportunity to present their research in English, such as on the subject of their graduation thesis. We set a theme each year (and we plan to alternate themes between humanities and natural sciences). This year's theme is "Information and Globalization." Students from universities overseas will also present their research, and students will receive feedback from the faculty members from the participating overseas universities. We are planning the international networking session after the presentation session.
