Flyer (Download／PDF file)

The Center for Tourism Research (CTR) at Wakayama University promotes the professional development of graduate students and early-career researchers through a variety of seminars and workshops.

As part of this initiative, we are pleased to launch a webinar series aiming to enhance the research skills of graduate students and early-career researchers. The series will provide a platform for students and researchers affiliated with Wakayama University and overseas universities and research institutions to present their research projects, findings, and ideas.
Presentations will focus on tourism, hospitality, cultural heritage, and related fields, and may include completed studies as well as ongoing research projects, papers, and research proposals. Through this series, participants will have the opportunity to refine their research ideas and further develop high-quality presentations and publications for international academic conferences and scholarly communities.

The webinar series will be held once a month from October 2026 to February 2027, comprising a total of six sessions. Please refer to the schedule below for further details.

Participants are welcome to join or leave the sessions at any time. However, advance registration is required. Please register via the following link (free of charge).
