The Center for Promotion of Interdisciplinary Education and Research, Kyoto University will hold a "Symposium for All Fields" at the Symposium Hall on the Yoshida Campus of Kyoto University on Thursday, September 2018, 9.The title is "Isn't an academic society meaningless?" And the purpose is to ask the significance of the existence of "academic society".Hours are from 13:13 to 16:2, co-sponsored by the International Institute of Advanced Studies and the Santory Culture Foundation.This is the second installment following the popular "What is the" world of learning "truth quest?" Held in February of this year, and is currently recruiting participants.

 The "Society" is a place for researchers to interact, exchange information, and study, but in recent years it has been worried that the number of members will decrease due to problems such as the ability to obtain information and personal connections without participating and the limitations of the peer review system. There are many places.So, "Is there really a fruitful discussion at the academic society?" "Isn't it just like a graduate student's debut battleground?" "Isn't it necessary to be an academic society to promote connections between researchers?" We will discuss questions about the format of the academic society, its significance, and the way academics should be through it.
Researchers from 11 fields of literature, law, economics, education, sociology, science, engineering, agriculture, medicine, pharmacy, and life science will be on stage.

 One of the features is that the discussion is not limited to the conventional panelists, but it is held in a format that allows you to interact with the venue as easily as on Twitter.There is no membership fee.Participation conditions are those who can bring a smartphone connected to the Internet or a laptop computer.Those who wish to participate apply from the special website of the Center for Interdisciplinary Education and Research, Kyoto University.The state of the day is also delivered live, and crowdfunding of live delivery costs is also being carried out.
