For the past 20 years, Japan has been lagging behind in the transformation of industrial structures through disruptive innovations that have emerged in various parts of the world. In the past, Japan has produced many innovative technologies in high-tech industries and materials, but it is starting to lose sight of the importance of "science and technology" in the rush of businesses.

However, unexpected technologies can only be produced with advancement of science and technology linked to information about markets, businesses, and products. For this reason, reboot of science and technology is a must.

So, what is required for Japan to lead the world again? What does it take for Japan to regain its strength in science and technology?

To find solutions to this major issue, a total of 12 great minds will meet to share their "knowledges.” These members include Dr. Kazuto Ataka, the author of the best-selling book "Shin Nihon (New Japan)," a Nobel Laureate in Physics, Dr. Takaaki Kajita, Dr. Hiroaki Kitano of Sony Computer Science Laboratories, and Dr. Peter Gruss, President of Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST).

The key people from industry, government, and academia will meet at the three-day online conference to discuss issues.

Second in the series "From Okinawa to the World: Future Scientists Spread Their Wings"

The "Science Project for Ryukyu Girls Science Camp" that began in 2014 was re-named "HiSci Lab" in 2021. 

In order to support the advancement of women into the STEM field, we encourage female high school students in Okinawa Prefecture to continue their education in STEM. "Hi-Sci" is coming from "Highschool" + "Science".

Female researchers from Okinawa Prefecture who are active both inside and outside the prefecture will have the opportunity to pass on knowledge and convey the joys of science. In addition to lectures, students will have the opportunity to learn through workshops with　PhD students and Post-Doctoral researchers at OIST.
