Workshop on asymptotic symmetries and flat holography. Organized by Quantum Gravity unit. Register via Zoom at: https://groups.oist.jp/flat-asymptotia

Science Challenge is coming back fully online!

OIST Science Challenge workshop will be providing participants with a unique opportunity to extend their scientific education and experience research. We also offer valuable information and tips to help them prepare for a doctoral program. Through a series of activities with faculty, postdocs, as well as with PhD students, the participants will learn about research conducted at OIST, and skills needed to survive and enjoy a PhD life. At the end of the workshop, participants will be asked to present a submitted slide presentation on the theme "Transcending Borders" in light of their experience throughout the week. The presentation will be shared with the OIST community.

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.

世界各地で勃興した破壊的イノベーションによる産業構造の変革のなかで、過去20年間、後塵を拝してきた日本。かつてハイテク産業や材料分野で多くの革新的技術を生み出してきたが、ビジネスの奔流に流され「科学技術」の重要性を見失いかけている。

しかし科学技術が進展し、マーケット・ビジネス・プロダクトといった情報と連結しなければ、予想もつかないテクノロジーは誰も生み出せない。だからこそ、科学技術のリブート（再起動）が必要だ。

では、日本が再び世界をリードするために求められることは何か？ 科学技術力を取り戻すには何が必要なのか？

このビッグイシューの解決策を模索するべく、ベストセラー書籍『シン・ニホン』著者の安宅和人氏、ノーベル物理学賞受賞の梶田隆章氏、ソニーコンピュータサイエンス研究所の北野宏明氏、OIST（沖縄科学技術大学院大学）学長のピーター・グルース氏など、総勢12名の“知”が集結。

3日間にわたり、産官学キーパーソンが語り合うオンラインカンファレンスを開催します。
