Tancha beach is in a really sad state after the stormy seas washing up lots of trash. If you are looking for an excuse to be outdoors, please consider going to Tancha to help clean the shore! You can always go anytime you like, for as long or as short as you like, just leave what you find near the carpark at the bottom of the OIST hill! Spontaneous cleaning without previous planning with Onna Village Office is fine, just tell the resource centre afterwards where you left your collection! If you don't have beach cleaning bags to hand you can also use normal garbage bags. And if you don't have any bags handy, you can always pick up the large floats and leave those off the beach (especially the polystyrene ones). Every little bit helps! Spread the word!

Internal and external workshop

This is a joint mini-symposium between OIST and JST Act-X. Act-X is a JST grant program designed to support young researchers. The symposium features four speakers from Act-X’s research area, “Life and Chemistry,” and four speakers from OIST. While the symposium is titled “Life and Chemistry,” the topics covered are quite diverse. The primary aim of this event is to foster meaningful interactions between researchers at OIST and those from outside institutions.
