Tohoku University has participated in MIRAI 2.0 for “Connecting Swedish and Japanese universities through research, education, and innovation”, and is promoting collaboration among member universities scientific issues within Ageing, Materials Science, Sustainability and AI relevant to both countries.
The main activity of the MIRAI 2.0 project is a research & innovation week. It will be held online from Monday, June 7, 2021, to Friday, June 11, 2021.
The focus of the research & innovation week will be on match-making between early career researchers, on integrating innovation and entrepreneurship into the scientific subjects.
There will be scientific sessions for each scientific issue during the week.
