更新日:2024年11月20日

On November 7 (Thursday) and 8 (Friday), Nagaoka University of Technology (NUT) held the 9th International Conference on “Science of Technology Innovation” 2024 (9th STI-Gigaku 2024).


STI-Gigaku is an international conference mainly organized by our students, with the purpose of promoting efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The conference is dedicated to bringing together all its respective parties—NUT, KOSEN (National Institute of Technology/College of Technology), universities in Japan and overseas, and companies/research institutes—to provide opportunities to facilitate the discussion of issues and solutions on global topics by sharing progress and achievements in education and research collaboration.


The 9th STI-Gigaku 2024 was held in Aore Nagaoka as the main venue and at the NUT. Over the two days, almost 390 people from universities in Japan and overseas, KOSEN, companies, and other organizations attended the event and adding momentum to efforts to achieve the SDGs.


In the research presentations, activities leading to solutions for the SDGs and results of joint research between KOSEN and NUT were presented in English specifying the target SDGs and lively discussions and exchanges were made. In addition, the event provided opportunities for KOSEN students to experience the atmosphere of research presentations at an international conference. Ten outstanding presentations were awarded the “Best Research Presentation Award by Sumitomo Riko Company Limited,” and 11 presentations received the “Best Research Presentation Award.”


This year was the first time in four years that this conference was held only on-site, it was a great success owing to the efforts of the companies that sponsored or supported the event, and all of those who participated or lent their support on the day. We would like to thank you for your kind support.


We will continue to hold the International Conference, and will work together across disciplinary boundaries to promote efforts to achieve the SDGs with various related organizations.
