• ¡°HU SPRING ¡°3QUESTIONS¡± - Three Questions for the Future¡±(*formerly known as ¡°100 Papers¡±)
  In 3QUESTIONS, next-generation Fellows and others act as ¡°poster presenters¡± and answer three questions about their research (introduction of their research, collaboration with other researchers, and questions they would like to ask participants) and post the posters with images that clearly convey their research, and participants can freely post their answers and comments on the posters with sticky notes. We hope that this event will help to expand the possibilities for the development of research and the resolution of issues.
