As part of activities to promote interest and understanding of science and technology, the research activities of JIRCAS will be introduced to the public in the form of mini-lecture videos during Science and Technology Week starting on Monday, April 15.
The week from Monday (April 15) to Sunday (April 21) including "Invention Day" on April 18 every year is called "Science and Technology Week" and was established in February 1960 for the purpose of deepening the understanding and interest in science and technology among the general public and promoting science and technology in Japan. Various science and technology-related events are held by science museums, universities, research institutes, and other organizations throughout Japan.
JIRCAS has simultaneously released 22 mini-lecture videos on a dedicated page on our website, and viewers will be able to watch the researchers’ lectures and talks at their convenience. The following two newly recorded mini-lecture videos (in Japanese) have also been made available.

What type of research is required to protect our crops from transboundary insect pests?
We hope that this event will further deepen the relationship between JIRCAS and the general public, disseminate useful research information, and provide an opportunity for the public to understand international agricultural, forestry, and fisheries research.
