UK-Japan Collaboration seminar in November 2017: “Social Innovation in an Aging Population & Diversifying Society”

We will hold a UK-Japan Collaboration seminar on the theme of solving problems and social innovation in an aging & diversifying society.  This seminar will be serialized and hold each year.  There are four speakers in total.

 In Japan, serious problems caused by aging population are emerging.  The government of Japan was formulating "Towards the 5th Science and Technology Basic Plan" (starting: 2016). The plan targets the active sustainability as a big target (Concept :Society 5.0). Currently, R & D of industry-academia collaboration towards creation and social implementation of innovation is progressing. The Aging is becoming a major issue in many developed countries.  It is also equally important to cultivate interpersonal skills to effectively work with/for people from all different backgrounds, since we are living in the world of diversity nowadays.   

Young researchers at Ritsumeikan University are ambitious for problem-solving type research and development for especially an Aging Society. In this plan, we are expecting a discussion for creating a delight and healthier future and hope promoting research collaboration and academic interaction between Japan and the UK.

We will hold a UK-Japan Collaboration seminar on the theme of solving problems and social innovation in an aging & diversifying society.  This seminar will be serialized and hold each year.
