Under the title of "Premium Session" and based on the theme of "Let's get started," organizers of this year's KEIO TECHNO-MALL have invited Dr. Junichiro Kawaguchi from the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA), which has supported the development of science and technology in Japan, to engage in discussion with researchers from the Faculty of Science and Technology on such topics as collaborative industry-government-academia activities as well as on research and education.
In this day and age when there is a need for capacity to respond to critical situations and changes in the environment, universities that are responsible for the next generation of research and education should demonstrate a new raison d'être in society, reflecting upon the research activities and the relationships between science and technology on the one hand and national policies and industry on the other.
The Premium Session will allow you to realistically experience lively discussion and the trends between young researchers involved in the latest research activities broadcasting the idea of "Let's get started" and the research leader who headed the Hayabusa (Peregrine Falcon) project.
