株式会社リバネスは2026年6月1日より、次世代を担う中高生の研究活動や科学教育を応援し、科学技術を発展させるため、「サイエンスキャッスル研究費DE&I賞」の公募を開始しました。

「サイエンスキャッスル研究費DE&I賞」は、「未来ある子どもたちが、安心して学習に取り組める環境のもとで、自ら可能性を広げられる社会」の実現に向け、自分自身を対象とした研究を行う中高生を応援し、一人ひとりが自ら世界を変える一歩を踏み出す支援を行うものです。

The research fields we are recruiting for are "all developments and research focusing on one's own characteristics and minority identities." We create a communication and presentation environment where you can feel secure and engage in research as your true self, and expert mentors will support you with unprecedented research ideas full of individuality and sensibility.

[Staff Comment]
Are you feeling bewildered, middle and high school students? Perhaps, if you study those feelings thoroughly, it may lead to the first step to change your surroundings and society. Even if you have never done research before... don't worry, you will have a mentor with you. We are looking forward to receiving many applications again this year!
