Disseminating Research Outcomes
In order to make as many people as possible aware of NIES’ research outcomes and activities, on the foundation of information provided via publications and our homepage, we also actively implement diffusion of research outcomes via our Open Houses and Public Symposium.
NIES Public Symposium
To make research activities and outcomes widely known, we have held a public symposium to coincide with June Environment Month every year for the past six years, in both Tokyo and Kyoto. Each year through a number of lectures and chaired panels and by having the opportunity to speak face to face with researchers themselves during the 20 poster sessions, visitors to the exhibition can learn about research at NIES. People from all walks of life take advantage of this opportunity.
NIES Open House
Along with giving the general public the chance to satisfy their curiosity about environmental issues, and gain an understanding of environmental research and science and technology, every year during science and technology week (April) and the Summer holidays (July) we open the doors of NIES to the public and introduce the activities of the institute. We have mini-environmental classes and interactive events, with many different attractions every year.
NIES Homepage
We provide information on our current research activities and outcomes via the NIES homepage. Besides information on the respective research centers and programs, the homepage also contains a database populated with research results. It is also possible to download a large spectrum of publications from the homepage including the NIES Annual Report and the research newsletter “Kankyougi”.
