On February 3, Waseda University held its 2015 “Waseda Research Award” ceremony at Okuma Kaikan on Waseda Campus.

The Waseda Research Awards consists of two types of awards: “Large Research Project” and “High-Impact Publication.” The “Large Research Project” is awarded to leaders of large-scale research projects and the “High-Impact Publication” to young researchers whose work has received great international recognition. This year, six researchers received the “Large Research Project” award and eight the “High-Impact Publication” award.
