We participated in, sponsored, and donated to the 7th International Conference on "Science of Technology Innovation" (7th STI-Gigaku 2022), an international conference organized by Nagaoka University of Technology in collaboration with technical colleges, companies, and local governments, with the aim of achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The purpose of this initiative is to contribute to new technological innovation and problem solving that will contribute to the SDGs and, to a large extent, to foster human resources who will lead the future, in collaboration with Nagaoka University of Technology, which is strongly promoting the SDGs as the only hub university in East Asia appointed by the United Nations.
Based on the 2030 Development Agenda "Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)" (17 goals and 169 targets), this international conference will discuss various goals for sustainable development such as energy, climate change, poverty and hunger, and discuss possible ways to solve these issues.
In the poster session, participants made poster and English presentations on activities that lead to solutions regarding the SDGs, and the results of joint research between the National College of Technology and Nagaoka University of Technology.
In FY2022, 10 "Best Poster Awards by Sumitomo Riko Company Limited" (Sumitomo Riko Award) were given to the best presentations to help promote students' efforts to achieve the SDGs.
