About the Symposium
The ISAJ Symposium aims to bridge India and Japan’s researchers/scientists by bringing them together to showcase their research achievements, exchange ideas, and foster collaborations, mutually beneficial to both the countries. ISAJ has been organizing this interdisciplinary symposium annually for the past ten years to provide a platform for Indian academicians, researchers, and students based in Japan to showcase their latest scientific achievements together with their colleagues in Japan. Renowned experts in different science and technology fields share their knowledge and experience in plenary and invited talks.
This year the ongoing global pandemic “COVID-19” has come as a shock to the society, health system, economic activities, and government policies worldwide, posing new issues and challenges. The symposium will devote a special interest session to understanding the role of science, technology, and engineering to address “New Issues and Challenges” created by COVID-19.
The symposium will enable scientists to reflect on how various science, engineering, and technology disciplines can be better integrated towards creating innovative solutions to help tackle this current challenge and be better positioned to solve future issues through the latest innovations.
Sessions will be designed around dedicated topics. Besides keynote and plenary talks by eminent scientists and researchers from both Japan and India, oral presentations and thesis challenge for student participants will also be organized.
