Director Kurohashi will deliver greetings on the occasion of the National Institute of Informatics Open House 2025 and introduce the institute's initiatives.

The National Institute of Informatics (NII) is dedicated to research in the field of informatics and information infrastructure projects, with a focus on promoting practical research and development to address societal challenges. Collaboration among industry, government, and academia is essential to achieve these goals. To further strengthen this collaboration, NII continuously shares the research results of its diverse researchers and the issues they are tackling with industry and government.

A briefing session for the entrance examination of the Informatics Program at the Graduate Institute for Advanced Studies, SOKENDAI, will be held. The session will include information on application procedures and an introduction to student life by current students.

In "NII Research 100 rounds" researchers will talk about research that would usually take a long time to discuss in depth, in just 7 and a half minutes. Ten researchers will each introduce 10 projects, delivering a total of 100 discoveries in a short amount of time. This unique format is a rare opportunity to get a glimpse of the researchers' passion and individuality. Through the diverse research at NII, you will encounter new discoveries and interesting research that you would not normally see. Why not experience the excitement and fascination of NII research for yourself?

The Demo and Poster Sessions will feature research presentations by researchers and graduate students from the National Institute of Informatics.
