NAIST EXPO 2026 was held on Saturday, October 31.
This year marks the fourth year since the event was renamed “NAIST EXPO.” Following last year, the event once again featured food trucks from popular restaurants and a flea market.
In addition, each division held “hands-on programs” to introduce the possibilities and joys of science to a wide range of people, from children to adults, in an easy-to-understand manner. Those who had pre-registered visited NAIST and got to experience cutting-edge science and technology.
In the Division of Biological Science, two hands-on programs were offered this year:
“Exploring the Microscopic World” and
“Can You Beat the AI Cell at Rock, Paper, Scissors? ”
Additionally, the division showcased “glowing plants”—an exhibit that had also been featured at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan—which require no external power source. A “NAIST Bio Alumni Volunteer Booth” was also set up, allowing participants to enjoy casual conversations with alumni about their research and student life at NAIST, their subsequent career paths, and their involvement with society.
In the first-floor lobby of the Division of Biological Science building, several laboratories introduced their ongoing research activities and achievements by displaying panels and other materials.
In addition, an “Admissions Information Session” and a “Graduate School Admissions Consultation Corner” were held for prospective students considering enrolling at NAIST. Students interested in studying at NAIST eagerly asked questions about specific research topics and entrance examinations and received advice directly from faculty members.
Blessed with favorable weather, “NAIST EXPO 2026” was filled with excitement and ended successfully.
We thank you all for participating in NAIST EXPO 2026.
