ICONIP 2025

This event will be the fifth joint workshop between Tohoku University and OIST since 2021. This time, WPI-AIMEC (Tohoku U & JAMSTEC) is co-organizing the event. It will include presentations that provide an overview of the current status and challenges of research on the marine environment and marine ecosystems, to promote the exchange of knowledge among researchers from Tohoku University, JAMSTEC, OIST, as well as University of the Ryukyus, and the University of Hawai'i. A majority of presentations will be given by early career researchers, with ample time for discussion to consider future collaborations and joint funding applications.

The Internal Seminar Series is back for the fall term, this week with talks from Oliver Bellwood (Quantum Engineering and Design Unit) and Alberto Sassi (Biological Complexity Unit). Stop by to learn about the exciting projects happening in other units and sections, chat with fellow researchers, and enjoy complimentary refreshments.

This event is a collaborative initiative between Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) and Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology (OIST), aimed at advancing new research developments in Gendered Innovation through the integration of both institutes’ strengths in advanced science and technology. Gendered Innovation offers critical perspectives not only for promoting femtech but also for applications in drug discovery, medical technologies, and materials development. Incorporating viewpoints on gender and broader diversity from the earliest stages of basic research is key to enhancing the quality and value of science. It also serves as a foundation for sustainable research and development that extends through applied research and ultimately contributes to social impact. In particular, Gendered Innovation is gaining global attention as a framework aligned with Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) and with the promotion of fairness in research practices. By bridging diverse fields such as quantum science, materials science, and AI—alongside OIST’s core strengths in neuroscience, biology, and environmental science—this event seeks to foster interdisciplinary collaboration through the fusion of advanced research domains. The event aspires to create a platform where researchers from both institutions can share knowledge, explore emerging challenges, and shape new possibilities for future-oriented, transdisciplinary research.
