The 10th Conference of the Association of Transdisciplinary Studies] Shape of the Future of Communication / March 6, 2021, 14:00-@Ota-ku, Tokyo

A panel discussion, "The Shape of the Future of Communication" (session partner: Focus Systems Co., Ltd.), will be held during the 10th Annual Meeting of the Association of Hyperdifferent Fields (March 5-6, 2021 (Friday and Saturday)).

The global expansion of the Corona disaster has led to the rapid spread of communication using online tools in school education and corporate activities. There are various ways to do this, including remote calls using video conferencing systems, text exchanges using chat tools, and telepresence via robots. In this paradigm shift of DX, it is time for us to deepen our understanding of communication and determine its true nature, rather than drowning in the rapid diversification of tools. How will our mutual understanding be shaped in the future? In this session, experts from very different fields who are active in the field of communication will gather to engage in emergent discussions to grasp the essence of communication.

We will have a program of discussions among researchers, start-ups, and large companies from a variety of perspectives, not limited to the themes of this session.
We are now accepting applications for audience participation, poster presentations, and booth exhibitors.The information is available on the convention website (see below).

*The event will be held after taking measures against new coronavirus infection on the day of the event.For more information
