Event

Waseda University will invite Dr. Richard Roberts, awarded the 1993 Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discoveries of split genes, and hold a symposium titled “Nobel Prize laureate conversation” at Komatsu hall (Building 121, Waseda Campus) in the Research Innovation Center.

This symposium will be held during Dr. Roberts’s visit to Japan for the Nobel Prize Dialogue 2025. The Nobel Prize Dialogue is the Japanese version of the Nobel Week Dialogue, an event that has been held in Sweden every Nobel prize award season since 2012.

A variety of topics will be discussed, such as his career and research as well as his message to the next generation.  There will also be a Q&A session for the students attending the symposium. We strongly　encourage students to participate to gain valuable insight and knowledge for planning their careers.
