The Open House 2024 of the NTT Communication Science Laboratories will be held on June 24th (Mon.) ~26th (Wed.) at NTT West QUINTBRIDGE and PRISM (NTT WEST i-CAMPUS, Osaka). At this in-person event, we will present our latest research findings and accomplishments in the field of information and human sciences through various exhibitions and posters. The event website will also be launched on the day of the Open House. We hope you all enjoy our Open House.
※ Updated information will continue to be posted here.
