The Irago Conference:

The world is at a major turning point. Recent changes
in global economics and industrial priorities,
environmental and energy policies, food production
and population movements have produced
formidable challenges that must be addressed forsustaining life on earth.

The objective of this conference is to provide an‘interdisciplinary-platform’ to enhance mutual
understanding between scientists, engineers, policy makers, and experts from a wide spectrum of pure and appliedsciences in order to resolve the daunting global issues facing mankind. In particular, the organizers would like to encourage
graduate school students to participate and talk directly with internationally renowned academics, industrialists, andopinion leaders for a firsthand view of the major issues facing scientists and engineers of the 21st century.

Venue:Irago Sea-Park & Spa Hotel is located at the tip of the capeIrago, Tahara-city, Aichi prefecture. The hotel is facing the Ise
Bay (Ise-wan), and has nice ocean view. Tahara has a mildclimate. Adding to the major access to the hotel by bus from
Toyohashi station, several accesses are available, and thosewill be noticed on the conference site. Irago Sea-Park & Spa
Hotel is very close to the ferry terminal where you can get ferry
to Ise and Toba city to visit Ise Shrine (Ise-jingu).
