Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference 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.
There are numerous fields of research that are simultaneously deepening and differentiating. In addition, looking at society, there are many issues that cannot be solved without combining the various types of knowledge that have emerged from research. In a society where knowledge is diversifying and issues are becoming more complex, the Society for Hyper Interdisciplinary Communication will continue to create new disciplines and methods to solve social issues by integrating knowledge through Hyper Interdisciplinary Communication.
Tokyo 2026 will accelerate communication that raises each individual's perspective and gathers knowledge across all boundaries through 18 sessions over two days. By uniting the knowledge accumulated through this process based on empathy, we aim to generate new questions and projects, and transform them into practical knowledge that will move industry and society.

Short Pitches by Researchers and Venture Companies "Hyper Interdisciplinary Splash"
The name "Splash" comes from the meaning of the word "splash," which means "a splash of water or other substance." Researchers and venture capitalists give 90-second pitches to the audience, telling them what they want to do and what they are looking for from the participants. The aim is to find passionate researchers and to use their pitches as inspiration to come up with new ideas. We then aim to develop the discussions into more in-depth discussions at the poster presentations, leading to the creation of new collaborative research.List of Speakers

Questioning the Meaning of Succession to Abundance
Session Partners:
Focus Systems Co.
As early as three years have passed since the "Kunming-Montreal Biodiversity Framework" came into effect in December 2022, the time has come for the world to think about what a "society in harmony with nature" means, and for companies to act accordingly. At the same time, we are beginning to question who and with what intention will continue to protect the land that is the subject of conservation and regeneration, and the meaning of "inheriting abundance". We will ask about the significance of promoting sustainable development that goes beyond the human habitat and looks at the ecosystem of the entire planet.

Rivanes Research Award 2026 Award Ceremony & Keynote Speech "Seeing Molecules in Motion!
The LIBERNESS Research Award is a system to recognize researchers who are passionate about their own research, carry out original research, and are making great strides right now while expanding the boundaries of their own research, as role models for the next generation of researchers. Award recipients are selected annually from past recipients of the LIBERNESS Research Grant. At the RIHN Tokyo 2026, the award ceremony for the RIHN Research Award 2026 will be held, and keynote speeches will be delivered by the winners of the Advanced Research Promotion Division.
Outline of Lecture
In the 2000s, the human genome analysis revealed information about the genes in the human genome, and in the 2010s, the shape of the proteins that result from the translation of genes was revealed in considerable detail by techniques such as X-ray crystallography and cryo-EM. and cryo-electron microscopy. Still, not all proteins are visible. Many human proteins have parts that do not have a definite shape, and these parts are not easy to see because they involve movement. Molecules that can be crystallized or frozen and observed can be seen, but molecules in motion are difficult to see. We cannot see them, but they are difficult to see! I want to see!" In the 2020s, my desire to "see molecules in motion! I would like to introduce my research on the movement of molecules. I would like to introduce my efforts to see the movement of molecules.Click here for release
