Remarks from the Seminar Secretariat

Nagaoka University of Technology is a participating university of the Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education (WISE Program) of the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology-Japan.
The goal of this program is to foster “professionals of intelligence” who will contribute to the achievement of the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and lead the world.
This time, we plan to hold a seminar to think about the future in 10 years with members of three universities, one technical college, and participating citizens. We have invited world-class lecturers, who lead their own field as “professionals of intelligence”.
I hope that this event will provide insight on the development of “Innovation made in Nagaoka”.
