What is the Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference?

In 2002, Liberace came up with the concept of "hyperdisciplinarity" to bridge the gap between the exponential increase in the number of scientific publications in recent years and the ever-increasing rate of knowledge available to us. Since then, we have been working as science bridge communicators to bridge science into knowledge that society can use, bringing together scientists, engineers, businesspeople, factory workers, doctors, farmers, educators, and other specialists in a variety of different fields. We believe that this "hyper-disciplinarity" network should be the key to exponentially increasing human knowledge. The Hyperdisciplinarity Conference is a place to test this hypothesis and take a new step forward.

About the 1st Kagoshima Forum of the Association of Hyperdifferent Fields

Kagoshima is one of Japan's leading agriculture, forestry, and fisheries prefectures. Kagoshima boasts the nation's largest number of pigs, beef cattle, and sweet potatoes, as well as a large concentration of food processing plants that process a wide variety of foods such as shochu, black vinegar, and dried bonito flakes, and has developed an industrial base while effectively utilizing its blessed natural environment. In the future, the fusion of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, which is Kagoshima Prefecture's greatest strength, with knowledge from different fields such as energy, healthcare, robotics, and IoT could create new value and a strong culture that will once again attract global attention from a region where the population has long been declining and the birthrate is aging. In this forum, researchers, venture companies, and business firms from within and outside of the prefecture will gather to discuss mechanisms that can be implemented only in Japan's leading prefecture of agriculture, forestry, and fisheries, in light of the coming changes of the times.

Distributed energy systems made possible by materials

Session Partner: Kyocera Corporation

In contrast to centralized energy production consisting of large power plants, decentralized energy systems that produce and consume energy locally have long been the focus of attention. However, they have yet to become widespread in terms of stable supply and efficiency. Ceramic materials may be the solution to this efficiency problem. In this session, starting with the feasibility of power generation using biogas generated from livestock farms, we will discuss how to realize distributed energy systems that will support local communities in the future.

MAIN ROOM

Pitches by researchers and venture companies in very different fields
Technology Splash."

Technology Splash, named after the word "splash," which means "to splash or splash (water, etc.)," is an opportunity for researchers and venture companies to pitch what they want to do and what they are looking for from the participants in a two-minute pitch. The goal is to find passionate researchers and to use their pitches as inspiration to come up with new ideas, while being exposed to the knowledge and enthusiasm of researchers who appear one after another. The aim is then to develop into more in-depth discussions at the poster presentations, leading to the creation of new collaborative research.

MAIN ROOM

A new strategy to unlock and communicate the potential of agricultural products

What is needed to increase the commercial value of Kagoshima's agricultural, forestry, and fishery products? This requires understanding the needs of the consumers to whom the products are delivered, and then drawing out and communicating the functions of the agricultural products, but this is not something that can be done overnight. In this session, we will discuss new strategies for communicating food from Kagoshima with health food marketing professionals, venture companies aiming to realize individual optimization of food, and companies in Kagoshima Prefecture aiming to utilize local resources.
