Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference 2024 OSAKA
Rebuilding the Research Ecosystem Knowledge Capital Conference Room Tower C
ABOUT
Outline of the event
- What is the Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference?
- It is a place where researchers, large corporations, small factories, and venture companies, regardless of their field or industry, can fuse their knowledge and technology through discussion, identify new research themes and issues that humanity needs to face, and promote research together.
Research that creates something new from nothing is, to begin with, "fun. However, all we hear from the research community in Japan today are gloomy stories. Perhaps the current way of conducting research, including budgets, postings, priority themes, evaluation systems, and researcher training, is no longer functioning well in the changing times. On the other hand, Southeast Asian countries have developed, and local researchers have become equal research partners, both academic and civilian. The field of research is expanding not only to Japan, Europe, the U.S., and China, but also to Southeast Asia. Now that the global situation has changed, let us return to our roots as researchers and start a discussion on the reconstruction of the research ecosystem, including academia, corporate research institutes, and even bridging the research results to society.
Please be careful for your safety as typhoon No. 10 is approaching. - Schedule
