Japan-YWP Symposium / AJF Special Seminar in WET2026
<AJF Special Seminar> Shaping the Future of PFAS Research: Through the Eyes of the Next Generation
<Japan-YWP Symposium> YWP Carrer Seminar
This international symposium will be held in two parts. In Part 1, young researchers from Japan and abroad working in various fields related to PFAS will present their topics. We will discuss new perspectives that transcend existing frameworks, seeking inspiration for research and identifying future opportunities. The goal is to visualize the future direction of PFAS research through the perspectives of the next generation of researchers. In Part 2, we will invite speakers under 35 years who have studied in Japan in water-related fields to share their experiences studying in Japan and their subsequent career paths (such as returning to their home countries or working in Japan). The goal is for students currently studying in Japan, as well as students and young researchers who collaborate with or mentor international students, to discover new ideas and insights regarding career paths and international collaborative research.
