Research Center of Mathematics for Social Creativity at Hokkaido University’s Research Institute for Electronic
Science × Hitachi Hokkaido University Laboratory
New Research Areas Exploration Symposium 2024
Highlight
Since its opening in 2016 by Hitachi, Ltd. and Hokkaido University as a facility for open innovation, Hitachi Hokkaido University Laboratory has pursued symbiotic urban development that integrates health, industry, and energy. In doing so, its goal is to overcome societal challenges facing Hokkaido through a collaborative approach that transcends the traditional conventions of joint research by collaborating with the community as well as industry, academia, and government.
In a change of format from the Hitachi Hokkaido University Laboratory Forums that have been held over the past four years, the March 2024 symposium was hosted in partnership with the Research Center of Mathematics for Social Creativity, an organization that seeks solutions to problems through mathematics and mathematical sciences and is part of the Research Institute for Electronic Science at Hokkaido University. Under the theme of “New Research Areas Exploration,” the symposium was an opportunity to explore new fields of research aimed at creating sustainable communities, addressing this challenge in ways that included mathematics for social creativity, industrial applications of AI, philosophical considerations, and ecosystem building.
