Consecutive seminars in Tokyo

 From AY2013, the Faculty of Societal Safety Sciences has conducted consecutive seminars every year at Kansai University Tokyo Center. Under the theme set for each school year, we have been introducing cutting-edge research results on societal safety that go beyond brief explanations, for about four consecutive months. Since AY 2014, it has been operating a “Knowledge Market“ of “Related Courses/Lectures“ and has also received favorable reviews from companies and local government officials in the metropolitan area.
