Innovation Youth Season 2 (2023) Other Events "Innovation Youth" is a nurturing project designed to support the research mindset of teenagers. The aim of the project is not to discover outstanding research results or exceptional talents but to facilitate the learning and growth of participants through their individual research projects. Participants engage in research based on their own awareness of problems and challenges. They receive advice from mentors, including researchers and entrepreneurs, as they work towards the final round of presentations. The program welcomes not only those already involved in research but also those with themes they wish to explore or ideas for problem-solving. This event is hosted by the Japan Association for the Advancement of Science (JAAS) and is co-hosted by the Kyushu University Institute of Asia-Oceania Studies (QAOS) Cultural Dynamics Cluster!
