OIST's Communication and Public Relations Division will host a talk event in Tokyo on Science and Art.

By combining the inspiration of art with the insights of science, science communicators, scientists, and artists can collaborate and then reach a wider audience with the results of their interactions.

In dynamic presentations, five innovators will share their ideas, passions, and work in science and art, highlighting the opportunities, challenges, and implications of bringing these two worlds together.

The audience is anyone involved in science communication, including universities, research institutes, NGOs, corporations, embassies, and government agencies. We invite you to join us to spark your imagination and inspire your work.

The event will take place in person in Tokyo, but will be delivered online as part of the UN Science Summit program.

Please use the form below to register for both in-person and online participation.

A keynote presentation and subsequent panel will address colonial scientific practices, the negative scientific developments that are caused by them, and how to move towards an inclusive science system, globally.
