Fukae Kasei Corporation, headquartered in Kobe City, will hold the event “University Experience Tour in Kobe University “Understanding Invisible Creatures? The Wonder of Environmental DNA” will be held on April 8.

This is a free-of-charge university experience tour where participants can conduct scientific experiments and visit laboratories at Kobe University’s Tsurukou No. 2 Campus. The company is currently accepting applications for participation via its official NOTE.

The event was planned with the hope that children will learn the fun of science by actually meeting and making connections with researchers.
The lecturers are Dr. Toshifumi Minamoto, a researcher of human development and environment at Kobe University, and Dr. Kumo M, a science communicator active mainly in the Kansai region. ＜
It will stimulate children’s curiosity to be able to talk with a real researcher! As a parent, I feel excited and thrilled to think that my child may have a chance to have a dream.
