The PI development seminar is held with the aim of supporting PIs (Principal Investigator, a term that can also mean the head of a laboratory or, in some cases, the person leading a research project) in improving their knowledge and skills.

What does an ideal laboratory look like to you? A laboratory in a university is “a community where faculty and students interactively create knowledge” and is the keystone of professional education. In this seminar, we would like to enjoy creating a virtual laboratory from the four aspects of the learning environment (space, artifacts, activities, and community) with those who plan to have a laboratory someday and those who want to reflect on their current management. In doing so, we plan to take time to 1) think individually and 2) share ideas with other participants. Please feel free to join us as this will be an opportunity to think about communication with students around a seminar that embodies "education through research".
