開催概要
What is Hyper Interdisciplinary Conferenceとは
Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference (HIC) is a place where researchers, large corporations, small factories, and startups, 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, 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.
