Inspire Talks is an exciting opportunity to enjoy hearing about cutting edge topics from science and design. In the next session we will feature six student treasure hunters presenting their latest project on "Treasure Hunting 2022," a collaborative project between science and design conducted by DLX Design Lab (DLX) at the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS), the University of Tokyo. This year, four students from the Royal College of Art (RCA), London, and two students from DLX participated in a two-month pilot project with the cooperation of three IIS research laboratories. Networking in the form of a poster session is planned after the presentations. Please come and enjoy casual conversation with treasure hunters and other visitors!
