Science
as a meeting point between fiction and education
The Open
Campus is a common activity in Japan in which universities open their
doors to the public to showcase their facilities and educational programs.
Founded in 1947, Tokyo University of Technology excels at training innovative
engineers through hands-on, cutting-edge research-based teaching.
For his
part, Dr. STONE has earned worldwide recognition for his focus
on rebuilding civilization through the power of science. In the
words of the university: "The relentless pursuit of knowledge and the way
in which humanity overcomes challenges by uniting its wisdom – as portrayed in
the series – is deeply aligned with our educational and scientific
philosophy."
With this
collaboration, both parties seek to generate curiosity and enthusiasm
for science among both anime fans and young people interested in an
academic future in technological areas.
