Seminars & SymposiaSymposia

The RIKEN BDR Symposium is an annual symposium held around March every year, where leading scientists from around the world working on cutting-edge research are invited to speak. The theme of the symposium changes from year to year, with organizers selecting one that is related to fields of research carried out at BDR. RIKEN BDR symposium is open to local scientific communities and provides opportunities for active discussions and scientific exchanges among the participants. Advance registration is required to attend.

In addition to the annual BDR symposium, the RIKEN BDR hosts other symposia and meetings with a more specific focus. One such event is a joint symposium on organoid research that is co-organized with the Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center (USA) and hosted in turn by the two institutions.
