The Final Workshop Presentations by students of the Kyoto-Cornell International Collaborative Degree Opportunity (KC-CDO) were held.
The Workshop is a required course in the second year of the program. Each student sets an individual research theme and, under the guidance of faculty members, conducts research or develops new business models. The outcomes of these projects are compiled into final reports and presented at the final presentation session.
Following each presentation, lively discussions took place among students and faculty members. After the session, the Best Presentation Award and the Runner-up Award were selected in recognition of outstanding presentations.
