Three IER researchers made presentations on their research at Miraikan, National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo. This is the first time that IER dialogue meeting was held outside Fukushima Prefecture. The meeting was held with the theme “福島の避難地域の野生生物のいま (Wildlife Now, in Fukushima Evacuation Area)” in the aim of giving citizens outside Fukushima a better understanding of the current situation in Fukushima. There were 117 attendees.
In the Q&A session, the attendees and the presenters exchanged opinions actively. It was a valuable time for us, as we got to know the people’s expectations for our research activities, other than questions about the contents of the presentation. Some attendees commented that IER dialogue meetings should be continued regularly in Tokyo in the future.
