2025 TUAT Student Research Day

Tuesday, September 30, 2025

9:30　  ～ Student Research Exchange
14:00　～ Academic Entrepreneur Challenge Pitch Contest

In FY2025, the Student Research Exchange and the Academic Entrepreneur Challenge will be held concurrently!

The Student Research Exchange offers students an opportunity to go beyond the boundaries of agricultural and engineering sciences, engage in interdisciplinary presentations, and deepen peer-to-peer exchange. It serves as a platform for students to independently explore new academic fields and foster interdisciplinary research. Students selected through a first-round (document-based) screening will give presentations at this forum.

The Academic Entrepreneur Challenge is a program that supports the development and growth of social implementation and business plans based on original ideas that utilize research-based technologies (“technology seeds”) to address real-world societal issues. Participants—either individuals or teams—who are selected through a preliminary screening will present an overview of their research at the Student Research Exchange, and then go on to propose business or implementation plans at the Academic Entrepreneur Challenge Pitch Contest, focusing on solving social issues grounded in their research.
