This year\u2019s annual MIRAI Seminar & Scientific Session, which was organized to promote joint research between Japanese and Swedish universities, was held on the 11th<\/sup> and 12th<\/sup> of \u00a0October 2018 at Waseda University.<\/p>\n

The MIRAI Project began as a suggestion from Swedish representatives at the Japan-Sweden University Presidents\u2019 Summit in October, 2015. The project encourages long term research collaboration between Japanese and Swedish universities and aims to raise the presence of universities in both countries over a four year period. Seven universities in Sweden and eight universities in Japan are currently participating in MIRAI.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s annual MIRAI Seminar & Scientific Session was held in Japan (Waseda University, University of Tokyo and Sophia University). Around 230 people attended the event, many of whom were researchers from Japan and Sweden. Of the four fields covered in the seminar (sustainability, materials science, ageing and innovation), Waseda University chaired ageing and innovation.<\/p>\n

We are planning to hold a joint workshop in Japan on ageing and innovation in June of next year. We also have plans to convene MIRAI Seminar 2019 in Sweden next November. In addition to these events, we will continue to work hard on MIRAI collaborations going forward.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Previous Ageing Workshop in Gothenburg<\/h4>\n

This workshop in October followed the workshop held in Gothenburg in June, 2018. In June, the keynote speakers were Prof Holger Rootzen from Chalmers University of Technology, Prof. Mitsuru Higuchi from Waseda University and Prof Ingmar Skoog from University of Gothenburg. There were 21 participants in total and they actively engaged in group discussions to broaden their perspectives in the area of ageing research.<\/p>\n
