In order to realize an ideal higher education feature, we need to perform the education starting from the issues based on the social demand and the student’s view points, and we have to be across the multiple borders such as walls of the academic fields, national borders to achieve a frontier of education system and contents. The tasks and the perspectives are discussed to perform a trans-border education with the universities in south-east Asian region. Also, a frontier of the education contents, “Problem Based Learning (PBL)” will be focused on as a center of the higher education to face with the global issues to be solved.

Since the coronavirus pandemic began, bioinformatics, such as DNA and protein structure analysis, is drawing attention.
In this symposium, two researchers related to bioinformatics will give lectures on their cutting-edge research, and the speakers and the students of Ph.D. Program in Humanics will discuss a variety of issues on bioinformatics, such as the role of this field after corona pandemic and how to collaborate with researchers in the other fields.

HumanicsSymposium2021

The necessity of coping with hunger, poverty, illness, and social inequality has been recognized as a critical global issues requiring cooperation among nations. The worldwide spread of novel COVID-19 infections has made many of these issues even more urgent to address. As the world has reached a historical turning point, it is required to change social and personal behaviors. At the same time, studies transcending borders of national, racial, religious, cultural, and gender differences are needed to establish a new normal. In this session, presentations will be made from the following three fields: (1) infectious disease risk management, (2) research on Middle Eastern and North African societies and minorities, and (3) research on innovations in food and agriculture. We will discuss what can be done now as transborder research in the age of ‘With Corona’ and how society and individuals will be in the future.

Climate change induced by anthropogenic CO₂ emissions will lead to drastic changes in marine ecosystems due to ocean acidification (OA). Natural analogues for high CO₂ environments, such as CO₂ seeps, allow us to assess how marine organisms and environments will respond to OA. This knowledge is essential to establish appropriate adaptation management and conservation plans for this global crisis. This session is the kick-off Symposium for ICONA (International CO₂ & Natural Analogues Network) which is an international research network for facilitating cooperative studies using CO₂ seeps and natural analogues. Here, researchers will introduce their state-of-the-art studies using natural analogues for high CO₂, allowing us to strengthen the international network.

Discussion in the research unit of Bio-resource colloid engineering has confirmed the validity of colloid and interface science for interdisciplinary discussion. That is, colloid science can be an important basis for the research development in water, soil, food, pulp and paper, waste and resources management. In order to make full use of the results along the mission for next generation such as realization of carbon neutral society, SDGs, counter measure against microplastic pollution, the way of thinking in the field of civil and environmental engineering is considered to be practically useful. With this conclusion, we have decided to collaborate to organize joint session with grope of civil engineering in Delft University of Technology that is recently active as MUDNET in Europe. This opportunity will lead to construct a new global forum to enforce the knowledge of colloid engineering for the next generation.

Challenges for sustainable care in public health fields are discussed, while extending and deepening our university network by inviting the speakers from Utah State University, a partner university of University of Tsukuba. This session provides an opportunity to introduce the MPH program of each school and exchange ideas on educational and research activities.

(*The session date has moved from September 11 to late November.)

This session is the sequel of Tsukuba-Hamburg Young Scholars’ Workshop of Buddhist Studies, which had been conducted in the framework of the International Education and Research Laboratory Program. The first workshop was held in Hamburg in January 2018, the second and the third ones in Tsukuba at TGSW2018 and TGSW2020.
Classical Indian textual studies encompasses a broad set of approaches on the religious culture surviving thousands of years. In the session, presentations by young scholars from Tsukuba, Hamburg and Wien (under negotiaion) on particular texts they are working on will be followed by free discussion.

As with all fields, Art and Design face the challenge of adapting to what is commonly referred to as ‘the new normal’ following the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic. Recognizing complexity of the ‘old’ normal and balancing that with new technologies, new trends and new information is at the core of much art, design, theory and practice. Adapting invites revisiting, re-making, re-doing, re-enacting, reconsidering and rewriting, but without ignoring the lessons that all previous ‘normals’ teach us. In this session, we will explore how Art and Design contribute to innovation through thinking, making and writing about our global and local normal. At TGSW2021, we will organize online international sessions including a keynote speech and oral presentations. A session of student-delivered lightning talks (2–3 minute presentations) will also be held. We are calling for papers on topics specifically related to the session theme, but broader topics related to the subject of Art and Design are also welcome. Abstracts will all be reviewed by the Review Committee comprising our faculty and external reviewers/scholars from industries, governmental organizations, and other academic fields.

By way of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the University of Tsukuba and capitalizing on the accelerating pace of digital transformation in the post-COVID-19 era, we strive to build win-win networks that connect our university, international alumni, current and incoming international students, and Japanese alumni overseas by attaching added value to the identity of Tsukuba students and alumni.
More specifically, we interact with each other by introducing different cases of overseas alumni associations and activities of current international student associations in different countries. For instance, a virtual campus tour is prepared by our current international students. Accordingly, we provide various activities to promote and share our university heritage.
Today the style of communication has shifted from onsite human exchanges to online virtual interactions. As special barriers begin to fade, we connect with international alumni and current international students to imagine the future together in this new era.

The aim of the symposium is to promote academic communication, collaboration, and exchange of students between universities in Southeast Asia and research institutes in Tsukuba particularly focusing energy and environmental materials such as photovoltaic materials, fuel cell catalysts, battery, and photo-materials.

The pandemic of COVID-19 has not stopped spreading around the world and many countries are on the verge of a Medical crisis. In particular, shortages of medical personnel and medical supplies are becoming more and more serious. Some countries are on a collapse of health care due to increased deaths associated with limited access to Medical care. Under such circumstances, the Hospital of Santa Cruz in Brazil and our university are sharing mutual knowledge and experiences to overcome this difficult situation. In this session, we will first share an urgent report from Brazil, which is struggling on the front lines of COVID-19. Then, experts from both Brazil and Japan will discuss this experiences to overcome this crisis together, and we will consider what we can do now in terms of international exchange and cooperation.

In order to answer various questions in basic natural science especially about the evolution of the universe and the origin of matter, University of Tsukuba has formed a basic science research center “Tomonaga Center for the History of the Universe” (TCHoU) in Faculty of Pure and Applied Sciences. TCHoU includes the following 4 divisions; (1) Antarctic Astronomy, (2) Elementary Particles, (3) Quark Nuclear Matters, and (4) Photon and Particle Detectors. These 4 divisions are trying to cooperate together to find out the “dark-” matter, energy and galaxies and to understand the origin of matter, phase transition and structure formation as well as their fluctuation and evolution. This session is to share the understanding of our fields and to discuss about the next step.
