The RIKEN BDR actively organizes a variety of programs for the  Open Day/House events held once a year at each of the RIKEN campuses where BDR labs are located—mainly, Kobe, Osaka and Yokohama. The Open Day/House is the annual largest event that is opened to the general public that gives BDR the opportunity to showcase its laboratories and experimental equipment, as well as share our research activities to the local community. There are a wide range of events for visitors to enjoy, including poster displays organized by researchers, facility tours and hands-on programs.

The 2020 and 2021 Open House events were  held online.

Programs for High School Students

A one-day hands-on lab experience program for high school students is organized by RIKEN BDR every year. The program generally includes a lecture by a BDR researcher and a tour of their laboratory, as well as a practical session, where students will get the chance to carry out a series of experiments intended to give students the chance to experience the scientific method. The program is currently offered only in Japanese.
