This time, we will be holding a series of discussions entitled "Tohoku University: 21 Issues for Considering the Future - Comprehensive Knowledge for Creating a Spiritually Prosperous Society."
We are pleased to announce that the event will be held. This series of discussions is based on the 30 "socially impactful research" projects that our university has been promoting since 2017, and aims to address serious social issues in order to create a "sustainable and spiritually enriching society." We hope that through this series of discussions, as many participants as possible will be able to confront the increasingly serious issues facing society, find ways to solve the "common problem structure" that permeates all social issues, and take action.
