[For Keio University Researchers, Students, and Joint Researchers Only] Keio University-NTT Vision-Sharing Joint Research "The Science for the Development of a Super-Mature Society" Research Exchange Meeting (October 30, 2018)

October 4, 2018

Keio University and NTT signed a comprehensive collaboration agreement in March 2006 and have been conducting research activities through industry-academia collaboration across a wide range of areas in the ICT field, from the construction of advanced fundamental technologies to their application. Furthermore, since fiscal year 2016, they have been promoting vision-sharing joint research aimed at creating new value by fostering interdisciplinary and inter-organizational collaboration.

With the aim of considering exit strategies and social implementation for the results of the vision-sharing joint research, we have been holding exchange meetings for researchers involved in the themes, including those from different fields. We are now pleased to announce that we will be holding an exchange meeting co-hosted with KGRI, aiming for the integration of humanities and sciences, on the date below.
