Research Day

Let's Go and Find the Research You Haven’t Heard!

On Friday, Apr. 5th, the 2nd Research Day was held on our campus under the theme of “Practical Application-Oriented Research: Let's Go and Find the Research You Haven’t Heard!" Despite a light rain, many people from companies, government agencies, and others interested in the university's research attended the event. Research Day aims to create an opportunity for the dissemination and co-creation of research results. To this end, 12 carefully selected studies from the advanced research that the university is working on for practical application in society were introduced as “Open Labs,” with exhibitions and mini-lectures on generative AI research, and an “Industry-University Collaboration Corner” where visitors could consult with industry and academia about industry-university collaboration.

In addition to free tours of the laboratories, the participants were given guided tours of four laboratories in different fields. At facilities such as the Smart House Research Center, the Automotive Engineering Building, and the “KAIT TOWN” completed this spring, visitors were able to see various facilities and state-of-the-art equipment. They were also able to learn about our research and experience the excitement and depth of our research. Many people asked questions to the researchers and students, or talked with them at length for more detailed explanations. The mini-lectures, “The Story of Generative AI: A Case Study of Kanagawa Institute of Technology” and “Efforts Toward Automatic Beverage Container Separation,” were almost fully booked, indicating the high level of interest in the university's research on generative AI.

The University will continue to introduce a variety of research to many people.
We would like to express our deepest gratitude to all those who came to the exhibition and to all those inside and outside the university who cooperated in making it possible.
