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。

Title: Matrix Models and Topological Recursion II

Abstract: Continued from the previous lecture, we will study how the topological recursion was discovered in the study of Hermitian matrix models. More concretely, starting with the spectral curve of a 1-cut Hermitian matrix model, I will present a computational technique that recursively solves loop equations. If time permits, I will make the recursive technique more abstract, and "define" the topological recursion.

These two 2-hrs webinar series aim to give attendees the necessary skills to be an effective peer reviewer, from both an editor`s and author`s perspective . This webinar will provide practical insights and strategies to help attendees achieve this goal.
