This is an open lecture series that will be held from autumn 2023 in order to disseminate Kyoto University's knowledge widely to people both inside and outside the university. It combines the "Spring and Autumn Lectures," which have been held twice a year since autumn 1988, and the "Future Forum," which has shared messages from alumni who are active in various fields.
"Forest of Knowledge" will be held twice a year in a variety of formats according to themes, including not only lectures but also researcher debates.
This special feature introduces recommended videos from the Spring and Autumn Lectures and Future Forum.
