."サイエンスキャッスル研究費DE&I賞This was born from the desire to support middle and high school students in giving form to the "discomforts they feel," such as "things they are currently struggling with," "things they question in their daily lives," and "things they feel are slightly different from those around them," through research and development. Therefore, regardless of prior research experience, we encourage those who wish to "investigate the true nature of their own lingering doubts" or "make their own lives even a little bit better" to apply.

On the other hand, some people might find it difficult to imagine how to set a theme and connect it to research, even when told that "their own doubts can become research." Furthermore, there are also voices saying, "I want to know more about research funding" and "I have concerns about applying." Therefore, this timeOnline briefing sessionThe event will be held at the following location.

The briefing session will explain the purpose of this research grant and key application points, as well as feature a testimonial from a successful applicant from last year. This will be an opportunity to gain a concrete understanding of how to find a research topic and how to proceed with research, so we encourage not only junior high and high school students, but also teachers and guardians to attend.
