The world of research has evolved with the growing number of publications. However, the knowledge that we can use from there is not catching up. To overcome this, Leave a Nest created a platform called ‘Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference’ in 2012 in Japan to exchange and develop research findings into a new state-of-the-art project. Since then, it has evolved to become a unique conference where corporations, startups, researchers and students from different fields gather together to create and integrate novel body of knowledge that can be used for the society.

Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Malaysia 2021 will carry the theme of ‘OFF-GRID Innovation’ where we will bring together leading academic scientists, researchers, corporations, and government agencies  to discuss the potential technologies and solutions to solve issues in society such as energy management, waste management, Drone Economy and ASEAN Healthcare. Through the discussion, we hope to propose good solutions towards creating a smart community, smart City and hopefully a smart nation.
