One year after its establishment, how has the Center's project developed and how will it develop in the future?

On February 20, 2024, the Center's annual symposium "Cutting-Edge Science for Social Implementation" was held. Many stakeholders gathered to share the current status of the Center's projects and confirm the future direction of the Center's activities.

This time on the OIST Podcast, DJ Nick Luscombe, OIST Podcaster-in-Residence reports on the event.
