PROGRAM and ABSTRACTS

Scope and Topics

The environment surrounding us is rapidly changing due to global environmental issues such as global warming, changes in industrial structure caused by technological advancements, and epidemics of new coronaviruses. In this symposium, we will collaborate with YNU's partner universities in India and Australia to proactively identify issues related to sustainability transformation (SX) and engage in interactive exchanges. By interacting directly with students and faculty from overseas, both in person and online, the symposium will provide an opportunity for global interactions across disciplines and to understand each other's values. We hope that this symposium will provide an opportunity for new exchanges among the participants and their research colleagues.
