Reports
【Reflection】
This programme focused on collaboration with industry and the
real-world implementation of research outcomes, with
researchers from Qatar and Japan sharing pioneering work in a
range of advanced technological fields. These included AI,
robotics, smart agriculture, medical technologies, and
transport infrastructure. Each presentation highlighted both
the latest research findings and concrete examples of social
application.
Particularly notable was the emphasis on human-centred design
and ethical considerations, demonstrating a shared commitment
to ensuring that science and technology contribute
meaningfully to society. Rather than simply introducing
technologies, many speakers discussed their broader social
implications and future potential, which resonated strongly
with the audience.
The forum also featured an active question-and-answer session,
where participants engaged in lively discussions on topics
such as social acceptance of technology, sustainability, and
international collaboration. The fact that researchers from
Japan and Qatar were able to engage as equal partners and
explore each other’s strengths exemplified the forum’s spirit
of mutual respect and cooperation.
Furthermore, the forum successfully highlighted how academic
research can move beyond scholarly achievement to contribute
to solving societal challenges in partnership with industry
and public policy. It offered a clear illustration of the path
from knowledge creation to innovation with real-world
impact.
In this way, the programme served as a highly meaningful
opportunity to showcase how international research
collaboration can support the development of sustainable,
inclusive societies, while also expanding the potential of
science and technology on a global scale.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
The insights and networks fostered through this forum have
continued to bear fruit beyond the event itself. Exchanges
between speakers have remained active, particularly in the
fields of AI, robotics, healthcare, and infrastructure, where
collaborative research, academic exchange, and reciprocal
visits are steadily taking shape.
For both Japan and Qatar, advancing research and development
through industry–academia–government collaboration, with a
view to real-world application, represents a significant step
towards achieving a more sustainable society. In practice,
discussions are already underway to explore partnerships
between Japanese institutions and Qatari initiatives such as
smart city development and medical robotics, with a view to
joint demonstration and implementation.
To ensure the outcomes of the forum reach a wider audience,
plans are also in place to utilise the session recordings for
outreach and educational purposes. These materials will help
communicate the relevance of science and technology to broader
society and inspire the next generation of researchers and
innovators.
Furthermore, the forum has laid the groundwork for potential
future activities, including interdisciplinary international
conferences and collaborative workshops. Concrete efforts are
already underway to establish an ongoing platform for
information exchange and cooperation.
In this way, the forum has served not only as a standalone
event but also as a meaningful springboard for long-term
international collaboration. Japan and Qatar will continue
working together to promote forward-looking research and the
practical application of innovation to benefit society.
