Getting young people inspired by and excited about science and research is crucial for nurturing the next generation of scientists and innovators. Two flagship European initiatives are highlighting the importance of European research for the future and connecting researchers and children to share the wonders of science. The European Researchers' Night is an annual European sci-comm and promotion event that connects scientists and the general public, particularly young people and brings research to life through educational and entertaining activities. The goal is to showcase the diversity and impacts of science and inspire young people to pursue science and research careers. By demonstrating the tangible, day-to-day impacts, the event seeks to increase the general public's appreciation of research and innovation. The event took place in 25 European countries this year. The new 'Researchers at Schools' initiative implemented by European Researchers' Night projects as of the 2022-23 editions will bring top researchers to schools and provide the opportunity for teachers and pupils to engage with them on important topics. In doing so, teachers and pupils can better understand societal challenges and how research is key to overcoming these, while access to STEAM (science, technology, arts and mathematics) subjects can be improved.

Hiroshi Asami
Prominent Japanese philosopher Kitaro Nishida founded the Kyoto School of philosophy and is considered the most influential Japanese philosopher of the 20th century. However, there are unrecorded works and materials with untapped potential that researcher Yuta Nakajima wanted to share with the world. Nakajima and Professor Hiroshi Asami, Ishikawa Prefectural Nursing University, Japan, are working to restore and organise recently discovered materials by Nishida. Asami is Principal Investigator on this project and is also Director of the Ishikawa NISHIDA KITARO Museum of Philosophy. He has extensive experience in this area and embarked on this research after a large number of unpublished notebooks from the home of a descendant of Kitaro Nishida were deposited at the Museum. Through this work, the researchers want to widely disseminate the philosophy of Nishida and Nishida's materials, including unpublished materials, and in doing so, deepen the study and understanding of Nishida's philosophy and Japanese philosophy as a whole. In one group of unpublished materials called 'thought notebooks', Nishida himself seems to have written down his own original thoughts and these may contain ideas that have yet to be turned into papers. Asami and Nakajima are also collaborating with curator Sachiko Yamanada. There are a total of 50 water damaged notebooks and memos that the team has been working to restore and they are now published online. Restoration involved vacuum freeze-drying and the use of SMART-GS software.

K. Koizumi, Akira Sugiyama
Global human resources and overseas local hiring is a concept unique to Japan. Professor Kyomi Koizumi, Sagami Women's University, Japan, is conducting a study on constructive career development of Japanese local employee and human resource (HR) employment strategies of Japanese overseas subsidiaries in Asia. In this study, she is working closely with Associate Professor Akira Sugiyama, Tokyo University of Social Welfare. Key factors that led the researchers to this project are the anxiety and dissatisfaction experienced by local hires who are neither Japanese expatriates nor local staff but intermediaries between the two and a lack of understanding of a local subsidiary on the part of the Japanese HQ, which could lead to human resource management issues that could affect performance. Sugiyama and Koizumi are exploring whether establishing an effective strategy of hiring locally based Japanese nationals could enhance the competitiveness of Japanese companies in overseas markets. The project's focus on Japanese nationals who are already present in a variety of overseas regions and who may offer the best solution to the HR management needs of Japanese companies expanding overseas makes it truly unique. The researchers want to identify the elements and conditions necessary for Japan to once again become a leading country in Asia and the world. Their intention is that their research will lead to corporate activities and individual career design.

Toshiya Yamamoto
Urban regeneration is key to restoring areas damaged by natural disasters. The research of Professor Toshiya Yamamoto, Department of Architecture, Meiji University, Japan, encompasses the promotion of the renovation of rows of houses called Nagaya, urban planning and transformation, housing reconstruction and regional revitalisation. His research is conducted in the urban area of Kyojima, Sumida Ward, Tokyo, which is a traditional Japanese living environment. A key concern in the restoration of Nagaya is ensuring that the buildings are as safe as possible so that the impact of earthquakes can be minimised. Another important element of the work is to promote a symbiotic relationship between residents and the community, with strong links between art projects and restoration. Yamamoto and the team's work will include performing analyses of the reconstruction project underway in the area of the Great East Japan Earthquake, analysing map data and the creation and categorisation of an original database constructed from building information and registration data. This data will then be repeatedly analysed in different relevant contexts. The goal of the research is to improve the structural understanding of recent urban transformation and evaluate the urban policies and plans that have strongly influenced it. The team also developed a manual for producing so-called 'evacuation maps'.

Changju Kim
Boundary spanning involves linking internal networks with external sources of information. Professor Changju Kim, College of Business Administration, Ritsumeikan University, Japan, is among researchers investigating the role of boundary spanners and is doing so within a new field of retail company research. He and his team are conducting various strands of research focused on continuous improvement theory in the field of management. This concerns management issues, such as employee motivation and training, and how these improvements interact with organisational design inside and outside of the company. The studies can then be linked to the qualitative and quantitative results of the company. Kim's research applies the theory of continuous improvement and research results in the field of organisation to retail company research, with a view to solving the problem of buyer management in innovative purchasing activities. Important to this research is associating buyers' purchasing behaviour, inter-firm relationships and internal organisations in issues of purchasing strategies in retail companies in recent years. Kim hopes the work will contribute to the theoretical development of conventional retail company research and channel research. In recent work, the team has been exploring how marketing enables firms to continually create innovative customer value, which includes looking at how creative marketing accelerates a company's growth engine.

Chisako Yamane
There is a risk that babies born with a low birth weight may die during the first month of life and for those that survive, potential lifelong consequences include increased risk of stunted growth, lower IQ and conditions like obesity and diabetes later in life. Therefore, preventing low birth weight is important. There has been little research on the impact of low and high birth weight on overall quality of life and, specifically, marriage and happiness. Assistant Professor Chisako Yamane, Faculty of Economics, Hiroshima University of Economics, Japan, is seeking to fill this research gap by providing insights into the wider aspects of birth weight that will help give researchers a deeper understanding of the potential negative impacts and encourage policy makers to introduce initiatives to prevent incidence of low birth weight in Japan and beyond. Yamane and the team are using the 'twin effect model' which is a method based on the premise that unobservable factors are almost the same for twins to identify the causal relationship between birth weight and subsequent life. Japan has the highest proportion of low-birth-weight babies among OECD countries and Yamane and the team are working to better understand this phenomenon. The researchers suspect cultural elements such as a desire to be skinny among women and children are at play here. The team therefore want to convey the health risks associated with being underweight both for individuals and their offspring.

Hirokazu Yokokawa
There is a need for better communication as globalisation continues apace and, therefore, learning a foreign language could be considered more important than ever before. Professor Hirokazu Yokokawa is a psycholinguistic expert based at Kobe University and believes that improving one's English language ability is essential to living better in a global society. He is currently working to utilise knowledge communication technology to develop a learning training system in collaboration with engineering and neurology researchers. When it comes to communicating in a foreign language, Yokokawa's approach is to offer the text during the retelling task so that the learner can focus on training in grammar coding processing as the initial conceptualisation sub-task has been reduced, thereby promoting the automation of language processing and improving social skills. Yokokawa and his collaborators have carried out a user survey to determine users' preferences with regards to feedback on their learning and they plan to conduct further investigations to decipher the type of virtual agent behaviour that is preferred by the majority of users and whether this has an impact on training. The researchers' learning system includes interaction with avatars with a view to increase users' subjective assessment of their own speaking abilities and decrease nervousness associated with interacting with an unfamiliar person, ultimately helping users to feel more at ease.

Fang-mei Lin
Sinophone (Chinese speaking) Studies was first fully explored by Professor Shih Shu-Mei at University of California with the intention of challenging China-centrism. Professor Fang-Mei Lin, Department of Taiwan Culture, Languages and Literature, National Taiwan Normal University, Taiwan, is teaching and researching gender and nationalism, popular culture, post-colonial studies and Sinophone Studies. She is questioning and de-constructing the idea that a homogenous group of people who speak the Chinese language is Chinese and Sinophone Studies support this, emphasising the importance of place and location and specific social and historical backgrounds. Lin is also emphasising the importance of becoming native in the place one has settled down for decades or even centuries. The Chinese diaspora sent migrants across the globe and their descendants don't consider themselves to be Chinese, despite some of them still speaking and writing in Chinese. This concept is supported by a novella called 'Ambon Vacation,' written in Chinese by Singaporean writer Chia Joo-Ming, which Lin is exploring. She is also exploring the multidimensional history of the island Ambon and its important metaphors, with Ambon helping with reflections on the complicated history of migration, displacement and colonialism. Lin's approach to studying literature is sociological, with emphasis on the literary text in question as a symbolic construction was created, distributed and consumed in certain historical, cultural, economic and social conditions.

There is a keen focus in Taiwan on the country's Blue Economy and establishing and developing ocean sustainability and, alongside this, promoting economic growth, jobs and livelihoods. Ching-Hui Chen, Pei-Chi Chu, Hsuan-Wen Chen and Shin-Yi Lin are industry researchers of the Metal Industry Research and Development Centre (MIRDC), an agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, and are collaborating with Professor Shih-Ming Kao of National Sun Yat-Sen University (NSYSU) and Ocean Affairs Council (OAC) to help develop the local marine industry. The team is working to establish an assessment and guidance mechanism for local governments that will push forward marine development. This involves far-reaching collaboration to improve understanding of the current status of the 19 coastal counties and cities in Taiwan, each of which has its own different marine resources and characteristics, and identifying potential areas for development and bottlenecks. The researchers are building inventories of local marine industries using the PEST (politics, economy, society and technology) overall environmental model. They are using different data, including relevant procurement bids from the past decade and organised five marine industry focus symposiums to which representatives from industry, government, and academia were invited to discuss and identify the developmental needs and directions of local marine industries.

'Berber' refers to a minority ethnic group originating in North Africa and to a group of languages also known as the Amazigh languages. Berber is also called Tamazight and is one of a set of minority languages reported to be in decline. Professor Tadayoshi Ishihara, Department of Humanities, which is part of the Faculty of Letters at Soka University, Japan, is working to compile a Japanese-Berber dictionary with a view to highlighting the existence of the Berber script in Japan. Variations in vocabulary are a factor behind the lack of existing lexicon. There is no such dictionary that deals with all of the variations of the vocabulary of the Berber language and Ishihara hopes his project will ensure Berber lexicon is attempted by future scholars and that the dictionary will represent a useful tool for showcasing the Berber language to Japanese linguists. Ishihara and his team have conducted many questionnaire surveys with Berber speakers in order to determine the high-use words to include and, given that 'Berber' refers to a family of languages, Ishihara narrowed down the focus of his dictionary to cover 'Riffian Berber'. In his lectures on linguistics and Middle Eastern studies, Ishihara highlights the existence of the Berber people and gives his students the opportunity to present hypotheses on the possible relationship between the Berber and the Ainu peoples.
