- Part 1: Oral presentation (2 students)

[Poster Presentations]
- The poster presentations at this workshop are not intended for specialized research discussions as in academic conferences. Instead, they aim to showcase the outcomes of the SPRING program’s general skills development and to deepen learning through dialogue with students from different fields.
- Presenters are requested to organize and explain their research in a way that is easy to understand for students outside their field of expertise. (Detailed guidelines for poster preparation will be provided separately.)
- Audience members are encouraged to take an active interest in presentations outside their own research field, and to deepen their learning through dialogue by asking questions and providing comments proactively.
