The Shinagawa Seminars had been held once a month at the Tokyo Office of Kyoto University in front of Shinagawa Station since June 2010. In June 2016, the events were renewed as the Marunouchi Seminar to be held at its new Tokyo Office in front of Tokyo Station, and have been similarly held once a month to date. Being defined as high-level educational lectures for social members living in the Tokyo Metropolitan area, the seminars are also held on weekday evenings to promote the participation of people working for companies. When planning each seminar, ‘specialty, cutting-edge knowledge, and timely topics’ are focused on.
