Course overview and goals
Students in the Forum of Computing will learn how to plan, practice, and present research in computing by participating actively in research presentations, discussions, and other practical activities. In addition, students will acquire science communication skills related to computing and learn about career development. Students will be responsible for managing the forum and presenting their research in this course. Through this course, students will recognize the position of other fields from the viewpoint of their research field and the position of their research field from the viewpoint of other fields. Finally, students will develop the ability to organize interdisciplinary and cross-cultural meetings, plan and manage interdisciplinary and international study groups, and develop leadership skills to manage research meetings, including presentations from various research fields.
This course aims to help doctoral students acquire the skills in research methods, research presentation, international communication, etc., which they need to acquire before receiving their doctoral degrees through active participation in the class. In particular, the course aims to learn the basics of interdisciplinary and international communication skills for students to participate in discussions in research presentations in other fields actively and manage such international and interdisciplinary research meetings.
