Droplet Physics Across Scales for Energy and Sustainability

This workshop brings together the Droplet and Soft Matter Unit (Daniel Unit, OIST) and the Mouterde Group (University of Tokyo) to develop a unified understanding of droplet physics across length scales, from the nanometric to the millimetric regime. Droplet phenomena inherently span multiple scales: nanoscale interfacial processes govern wetting, transport, and dissipation, while micrometric and millimetric droplets exhibit complex hydrodynamic, electrostatic, and multiphase behaviors. Bridging these regimes remains a major challenge in soft matter and fluid physics.

本説明会は日本語で開催されます。OISTの博士課程やリサーチインターン、それぞれの出願プロセスについて紹介します。ゲストスピーカーとしてOISTの現役博士課程学生2名が登壇し、OISTでの学生生活や研究についてお話しします。パネルディスカッションでは、参加者の皆さまからのご質問に学生が直接お答えします。

In collaboration with leading venture capital firms, OIST Innovation offers startups and entrepreneurial researchers or students the opportunity to connect directly with venture capitalists for one-on-one mentoring and discussion. Each round begins with an open seminar-style introduction, where participants can learn about the VC firm's investment focus and characteristics. This is followed by private, closed-door mentoring sessions between startups/researchers/students and the VC representatives.

The featured VC for this round is INSPiRE Corporation .

The Falling Walls Lab is an interdisciplinary format to showcase the next generation of top researchers developed and hosted annually by the Falling Walls Foundation in Berlin in November. In 3–minute talks, outstanding talents and innovative thinkers share their research projects, business models and social initiatives with an interdisciplinary audience and jury. Academic institutions worldwide are invited to host their own Falling Walls Lab and to send their winner/s to the Falling Walls Lab Finale in Berlin.
