Public Lectures
These lectures held to address society’s diversifying scientific and academic needs while familiarizing a wide spectrum of people with the activities of the Japan Academy. For this purpose, members of the Academy deliver lectures twice a year, in spring and fall. The spring lecture meetings are held throughout Japan, whereas the fall meetings are held at the Japan Academy in Ueno Park. Researchers of various fields present their work at these meetings in a manner that can be easily understood by the general public. Since 2008, the Academy has started an annual lecture series especially for junior high and high school students (Manabi no susume Lecture Series). Since 2021, the lectures have been held onsite and online.
