Lecture（First Session）
13:15	Lecture１	「Embrace the Future Now」 We often encounter challenges where we are unsure how to tackle them. At such times, we are tempted to postpone discussions and decisions. Procrastinating behavior produces nothing. Tokyo Tech has decided not to defer these discussions and decisions when considering what kind of university we want to be at the beginning of the Reiwa era.  MASU Kazuya President, Tokyo Institute of Technology
13:40	Lecture２	「Social Systems Supporting “Fun-Will-Effort」 The earth is finite, and therefore the production of energy and food is also finite. As the human population approaches 10 billion, the establishment of a smart society that is holistically optimal and sustainable is urgently required. Human beings are the main actors in the creation of value in human society. The establishment of a social system that respects individual initiative and supports the diversity of people based on “Fun-Will-Effort” is essential. Dr. Nobuhiro Endo Executive Advisor, NEC Corporation
14:05	Lecture３	「Super Smart Society for the Future of Humanity ～Challenges in the Agri-Food Industry～」 This presentation will outline NARO’s efforts to solve “global issues related to the agriculture and food industries” that threaten the future of humanity through the realization of Society 5.0 in the field of agriculture and food. Dr. Kazuo Kyuma National Agriculture and Food Research Organization President

Lecture（Second Session）
14:55	Lecture４	「Integration of Medicine and Healthcare for a Super Smart Society.」 With the transition to a ‘Super Smart Society’, medical care is extending beyond the confines of hospitals. This discussion focuses on how life will transform as medical care becomes an integral part of our daily lives, seamlessly merging with healthcare. Dr. Koji Fujita Deputy Director (Public relations) / Professor (Open innovation center), Tokyo Medical and Dental University
15:20	Lecture５	「NTT as a Creator of New Value and Accelerator of a Global Sustainable Society」 The surge in data volume is leading to an escalating power　consumption, pushing ICT’s sustainability into jeopardy. At NTT, our objective is to ensure sustainability through our advocacy and promotion of IOWN, focusing on highly energy-efficient optical technology. This lecture will delve into our initiatives with IOWN. Dr. Katsuhiko Kawazoe Senior Executive Vice President, NTT Corporation
15:45	Lecture６	「“AI for Science” in Japan: Innovative evolution of science based on basic models 」 Prof. Satoshi Matsuoka Center for Computational Science (R-CCS), RIKEN
16:10	Lecture７	「Past and future」 Modern academic knowledge is made up of subdivided specializations. However, because of this, we lose sight of the interconnectedness, organicity, and comprehensiveness of knowledge, and our vision of future society becomes narrow-minded. By reconsidering old ways of knowing, we hope to gain a perspective that can see into the future. Prof. NAKAJIMA Takeshi Institute for Liberal Arts (ILA)/Professor Tokyo Institute of Technology
