Scope and Topics

This symposium, under the theme of “Realizing a Carbon-Neutral Future,” brings together experts from diverse fields such as nanomaterials, energy systems analyses, CO₂-emission reduction materials, and other infrastructure technologies, and finance to engage in interdisciplinary discussions.
On Day 1, the focus will be on how the integration of cutting-edge materials, advanced energy technologies, and financial strategies can accelerate the transition toward a sustainable and resilient society. In the poster session, students will introduce their research and their own culture to exchange ideas and promote interaction and mutual understanding among the participants.
On Day 2, participants will present the outcomes of group work centered on building a sustainable society, followed by multifaceted discussions on technological breakthroughs and the challenges of social implementation. Through this symposium, we aim to explore the potential for cross-disciplinary collaboration and co-creation.
