OIST Workshops

Every year OIST hosts international workshops and summer/winter courses – “OIST Workshops” – offering a wide range of scientific approaches and a broad overview of the according field of research. OIST Workshops not only aim to play an important role in the education of young scientists, but also to enhance cooperation with research and academic institutions in Japan and overseas. These educational activities also actively contribute to the promotion of the OIST Graduate school to the worldwide scientific community, by attracting young researchers to participate in a big variety of educational activities.
