Our environment is changing rapidly. There are many scenes where things that were commonplace are no longer normal. Everything is connected, and the problems of distant countries can have a direct impact on our lives.
The time for people to overcome inconveniences by developing science and technology alone has passed, and it is said that it is an era where innovative ideas create value. For each of us who live in such an era, the way and possibilities of learning are expanding, such as "recurrent education" for working adults in the "100-year life era" and "STEAM education" that fosters the ability to discover, solve, and create issues beyond the boundaries of science and humanities.
"Science Agora in Osaka" has been held in Nakanoshima since 2021 as a round table where diverse values intersect toward the 2025 Osaka and Kansai Expo "Designing a Future Society that Shines Life". This year, based on the overall theme of Science Agora, "Let's mix, over, and create," we will continue to learn as an opportunity to lead to comprehensive knowledge (to gather diverse knowledge and create the vitality of knowledge that creates new value).
