Kyushu University Institute for Asian and Oceanian Studies kicks off with Exploring Futures from Asia and Oceania Symposium. 2022/03/28 The Kyushu University Institute for Asian and Oceanian Studies (Q-AOS), Kyushu University’s newest Research and Education Institute, set the stage for its future with its Exploring Futures from Asia and Oceania Kick-Off Symposium held in INAMORI Center on July 10, 2019. Established in April 2019, Q-AOS is bringing together researchers in humanities, sociology, science, technology, and life science to find solutions to social issues in Asian and Oceanian countries. Through such work, Kyushu University aims to expand its research and educational impact while deepening its relationship with countries in the region. The Kick-Off Symposium, which was the institute’s first event, featured talks from Makoto Aratono, the Deputy Director General, and the leaders of its six research divisions—called clusters—giving an overview of the institute’s activities. These talks, along with 6 lectures from invited researchers from Asian and Oceanian countries and a poster session, provided the basis for discussion and interaction with international researchers in different fields to generate new ideas and research paths. Also in attendance were President Chiharu Kubo, the Director General, who gave the opening remarks to the about 160 participants at the symposium, and Mr. Yoshihide Miwa, a Guest from Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT), who gave guest remarks. The research clusters are also holding their own kick-off events around campus to foster deeper discussion in the different areas. The Cultural Variation Cluster held its event the day before the Kick-Off Symposium, and the kick-off events of the Urban Cluster, Medicine and Health Cluster, and Resource Recycling Cluster were held over the following two days. The final two clusters, the Security and Disaster Prevention Cluster and Sustainable Environment Cluster, have a joint event* scheduled for September. *A Kick-off symposium of the Security and Resource Recycling Cluster and Sustainable Environment Cluster: http://q-aos.kyushu-u.ac.jp/event-en.html 会場の様子 会場の様子 開会挨拶:久保 千春機構長 来賓挨拶:三輪 善英氏 資源循環クラスター招待講演 Jacques Eksteen氏 資源循環クラスターの紹介 笹木 圭子クラスター長 都市クラスターの紹介 趙 世晨クラスター長 都市クラスター招待講演 Yuhang Kong氏 生存基盤環境クラスターの紹介 荒谷 邦雄クラスター長 生存基盤環境クラスター招待講演 Eric Hsien-Shao Tsao氏 医療・健康クラスターの紹介 清水 周次クラスター長 医療・健康クラスター招待講演 Jeffery J.
