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 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, we will continue to create new disciplines and methods to solve social issues by integrating knowledge through Hyper Interdisciplinary Communication.
This time, we will hold the inaugural HIC in Taiwan!
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.
