This time, under the theme of "Molecules and Healthy Living," lectures and panel discussions on cutting-edge molecular science and world-class science will be held. Lectures such as "LED that illuminates the world" by Hiroshi Amano, who won the 2014 Nobel Prize in Physics, and "Dynamic Chemical Reactions and Sustainable Human Development" by YTLee, who won the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, are scheduled.
