Presenting my research to people from various companies

I participated because I thought that I could reaffirm how my research can be applied to the real world and what problems exist through interactions with people from various companies. The interactions with the participating institutions in the workshop were very stimulating. I was able to partake in meaningful exchanges, not only discussing my research but also gaining a better picture of actual work contents and how research has been applied in society.

Post-matching internships made the companies more attractive

I was approached by NEC during the poster session. The representative of NEC had worked with a professor in my undergraduate lab and his responsibilities were similar to some associated with my research; hence, I was able to discuss my research in more depth.
Later, the secretariat contacted me about matching internships. After extensive dialogue with the NEC representative, I was selected to participate in a one-week internship in January 2023. The research topic for my internship was adjusted based on my research and and the related work at the department where I was interning.

To students who are going to participate in the SSS Matching Workshop

Thre is a lot to learn even in the first year of a master's degree!

The SSS Matching Workshop allows you to discuss and match with companies. I also learned about other students’ research and obtained information about employment opportunities, which was very beneficial for me even though I participated as a first-year master’s student. This event is easy to attend because it is held on campus.

Message from the supervising professor

I am very happy that he was able to broaden the research perspectives and acquire the ability to plan research projects with an awareness of social implementation through the internships at such cutting-edge companies. The SSS Matching Workshop is not only an opportunity to match the needs of university research with the social needs of companies and research institutions, but also a place where students can actively gain practical experience, contributing to the development of the human resources needed by society. We hope that all students, as well as companies and research institutions, will actively take advantage of this meaningful opportunity.

Message from the consortium partner

An internship is a good opportunity for students to learn a lot, not only about practical research and development, but also about working life and working styles. Furthermore, it helps to match the human resources that companies are looking for with what students want to do. The employees in the departments that accept the students are making various efforts to make it easier for the students to tackle their assignments, and we hope that they will participate in our internship program.
