Overview of the 52nd Soka University Autumn Lecture Series, 2026
The "Summer University Lectures," which have been held every August until now, will be revamped into the "Autumn University Lectures" starting in 2026, in light of the effects of recent extreme heat and typhoons.
Accordingly, the format will also be changed to a one-day in-person course. In addition, while previously there was one lecture per day (90 minutes each in the morning and afternoon), from now on you will be able to attend different lectures (90 minutes each) in the morning and afternoon. We hope you will continue to show your interest in the newly revamped "Autumn University Courses."
