From February 12 to 14, 2026, Hokkaido University participated in the J-PEAKS booth organized by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) at the AAAS 2026 Annual Meeting, a major multidisciplinary science conference held at the Arizona Convention Center. 

The university showcased its J-PEAKS initiatives to an international audience and networked with media representatives to strengthen connections for future outreach activities.

Hokkaido University also met with communications and media relations staff at Arizona State University, which is known for its strong track record in industry-academia collaboration, to exchange information and learn more about approaches to research outreach.
