Practical career development training for doctoral personnel Ad Venture Program
LIVERNESS Corporation is pleased to announce a practical program for doctoral students to develop their transferable skills, the ability to break down the skills they have developed in their research experience and horizontally expand them to other fields. This program can be incorporated as part of the doctoral student program at the university, and will be offered in a manner directly related to the SPRING project and other graduate student support programs. If you are interested in this program, please contact us for more information.
The program will offer an "Ad Venture Forum" to be held on Saturday, December 6, 2025, and an "Ad Venture Scholarship" to which participants in the forum may apply, as a place for developing and practicing transferable skills of participating students.
The Ad Venture Forum brings together many companies, mainly university-launched ventures, that aim to solve social issues through science and technology. Participating students will not only learn about senior entrepreneurs who are involved in both research and business, but also gain experience in proposing their own expertise and ideas to companies, which will lead to career options such as joint research, internships, hiring, and even founding a company. This is a valuable opportunity to talk directly with the management and employees of R&D ventures and explore how your research and ideas can be applied in society.
In addition, participants will be given the right to apply for the "Ad Venture Scholarship," which will support up to 100,000 yen in activity expenses. By utilizing the scholarship, participants can challenge internships and joint research based on the connections they have made at the forum, and can concretely pursue new activities with a view to social implementation.
This program supports the first step for doctoral students to make contact with society and expand their career possibilities. We hope you will take advantage of this program to strengthen our support for doctoral students' career development as a university.
