Despite the continuing worldwide
coronavirus pandemic, we would like toconcretely discuss potential topics forresearch with people in other cultures andfields, taking the first step towards thecreation of on-going relationships.

SPEAKERS

November 3, 2021

L-INSIGHT is a hub at Kyoto University
comprised of select researchers under
the age of forty. It was established witha grant from the Japanese government.
Through opportunities for collaboration
with partners in industry and othercountries, we are working to ensure thatearly career researchers will be able tofreely and sustainably construct their own
research communities in 2030.
The Joint Meeting Series is one of
the joint program established last yearthat aims to promote seeds of futurecollaborative research initiatives led
by young researchers themselves andto continue mutual progress throughco-creation.
This year, we are very pleased tolaunch Front Runner Series as a forum toencourage the continuation and development of the research themes encounteredin that joint meeting series. In the firstsession, Tomohiro Tanaka, a researcher inhydrology, will organize a discussion on
the prospects of Water-Related Research.
