【Overview】
Achieving progress and impact for the SDGs will require academia, business, policymakers and civil society to work closely together in a transdisciplinary manner. To highlight these transdisciplinary connections and to achieve progress and impact, the University of Tokyo and Springer Nature will be co-hosting a symposium on 29 March 2022 (in English).
We wish to take this opportunity to invite some of Japan’s renowned researchers working at this interface of energy systems and SDGs to actively discuss how research can both explain these multifaceted phenomena and develop effective solutions with high societal relevance and impact. We look forward to your participation in this event.
