Hanae Shimo (2nd-year master's student, Graduate School of Media and Governance) Selected as Student Delegate for the Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar (SIYSS)

2013.10.01

Hanae Shimo, a second-year master's student at the Graduate School of Media and Governance and a member of Professor Masaru Tomita's laboratory, has been selected as one of Japan's student delegates to this year's Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar.

The Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar is a seminar organized by the Swedish Federation of Young Scientists with the support of the Nobel Foundation. Ms. Shimo, along with other young researchers from around the world, is scheduled to attend the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony and Banquet, visit universities and research institutions near Stockholm, and experience other valuable opportunities for international exchange.

Every year, The Japan Prize Foundation selects two students from Japan. It is a great honor, as this is the first time in 25 years (since 1988) that a student from our university has been chosen.

I am delighted to have been selected as a student representative from Japan for the Stockholm International Youth Science Seminar, with the support of The Japan Prize Foundation. In Stockholm, I hope to actively interact with Nobel laureates and learn what is necessary to make great discoveries. I also look forward to mutually inspiring the top young scientists of my generation from around the world and sharing my experiences with others after returning to Japan. I would like to express my deepest gratitude to everyone at The Japan Prize Foundation for giving me this opportunity, as well as to Professor Tomita and everyone at SFC who supported my application.
