Science communication and outreach, especially to global audiences in English, is taking off in Japan. Japan Scicom Forum brings together communicators, writers, scientists, journalists and select experts from abroad to inspire and boost the cohesion of scicomm in Japan, learn new skills and inform the community with best practices. Keynote talks will reflect on research-media interactions from the perspectives of both scientists and press professionals. Workshops will provide hands-on training to support communicators and scientists working in Japan as they engage in global outreach. Open discussion and networking opportunities are spread over the program. Registration is free and the event will be in English.

This year, OIST is honored to host virtually this event.

The topics covered in this minisymposium include:
Mean curvature flow and second order fully nonlinear curvature flow; Special solutions of curvature flow equations; Higher-order geometric partial differential equations of elliptic and parabolic type; Monge-Ampere type equations and applications in optimal transportation; Minimal surfaces and minimal submanifolds; Manifolds of prescribed curvature; Eigenvalue problems on Riemannian manifolds

About one year has passed since the start of R&D for Moonshot Goal 6, "a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer that will revolutionize economy, industry, and security by 2050”. They will disseminate the results of R&D currently being carried out in the goal's seven projects, and explore issues related to the realization of fault-tolerant universal quantum computers. Prof. Hiroki Takahashi will give a presentation.
