FY2024 SPRING International Workshop
The SPRING International Workshop has been held as a “joint research presentation” until FY2023, but from FY2024, the content will be renewed, aiming at international exchange and an easy-to-understand introduction of research for non-specialists. It will also provide a forum for exchange between selected students and companies and research institutions.
