Liverness Corporation is looking for poster judges to judge poster presentations at Science Castle Japan 2026, a conference for middle and high school students to be held on Saturday, June 6, 2026.

Science Castle is a place where middle and high school students from all over Japan present their research findings regardless of field, and deepen their research with each other through dialogue with researchers, companies, and peers of the same generation.
This year's event, titled "Science Castle Japan 2026," will not only present research results, but will also aim to raise each participant's perspective as a researcher to a new level through discussion.

RIVANES would like to invite researchers who are willing to support the challenges of future researchers, think and dialogue together with them, to participate as poster judges.

Any field of expertise is acceptable for poster judging.
Facing the research of middle and high school students and providing feedback on how to formulate questions and conduct research is not only a contribution to the development of the next generation, but also an opportunity to reflect on your own research and educational perspective.
In past years, the event has been well attended by graduate students, university faculty and staff, and young researchers.
