Course overview and goals
【Overview】
In this lecture, we will invite experts from fields related to applied chemistry that differ from university-based research and education, such as commercialization, intellectual property, and government-related work, to introduce these topics.
【Objectives】
The aim of this lecture is to provide an opportunity for students to understand the role that applied chemistry plays in real-world applications, such as commercialization, intellectual property, and government-related work, in addition to university research and education. This will help students broaden their perspectives and consider various possibilities for their future career paths. Furthermore, the lecture aims to help students learn about the concrete connections between academia and society.
Course description and aims
Students will understand the role of applied chemistry in the real world and the various career opportunities it offers, as well as gain a concrete understanding of the connections between academia and society.
