The Graduate School of Information Science and Technology of the University of Tokyo has positioned Corona as an opportunity to utilize information technology, and has put together a proposal for the construction of a new social system premised on online.In the future, we will hold discussions with industry and government agencies to compile the second proposal.

 According to the University of Tokyo, the proposal is that information infrastructure represented by the Internet not only contributed to avoiding the worst of society due to this corona disaster, but also inevitably made technological improvements and advances to support online activities. He pointed out that it accelerated without any problems and highlighted the problems that society had before the corona disaster occurred.

 On top of that, it is necessary to take the corona disaster as an opportunity, utilize information technology that greatly eases spatial constraints in various ways, and build a new society with a strong determination not to return to the original system. I'm making a suggestion.

 In order to achieve this, we will introduce new KPIs (key performance indicators) that are different from the past, develop human resources who will lead a new society without forgetting the global perspective, research and development of new systems that assume online, and social. There is a need for the development of new information technology for social activities that maintain a distance.

 On July 7, an online symposium will be held with the participation of eight researchers, including Professor Hiroshi Esaki and Professor Reihito Suda of the Graduate School of Information Science and Engineering, and will be distributed on YouTube.Furthermore, we will proceed with discussions toward the second proposal by collaborating with the new industry-academia collaboration platform "UMP-JUST" of the Graduate School of Information Science and Engineering, which will start in 4.
