Symposiums
The Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry organizes policy symposiums and various seminars as a means to activate policy debate by putting forward the findings of each research project and eliciting public opinions from various points of view. RIETI researchers make presentations on their respective research projects while inviting experts in the relevant fields - policymakers, practitioners, scholars, and journalists - to participate in active debate and further refine research results.
