Industry-Academia-Government Exchange Meeting for Young Researchers “SAN-WA-KA”
What is "SAN-WA-KA?"
"SAN-WA-KA" was launched in FY2004 as a subordinate organization of the Industry–Academia–Government Exchange Committee to realize the "further promotion of the triangular collaboration," which was the concept of the 80th anniversary commemoration project of Japan Society for Bioscience, Biotechnology, and Agrochemistry.
"The recent collaboration between the industry, academia, and government in the field of agricultural chemistry is dying down," was a general opinion that prevailed when "SAN-WA-KA" was launched.
However, we now believe that this situation has improved as a result of the symposium and study meetings for young researchers aimed at both fostering understanding and raising awareness of the importance of this triangular collaboration.
Since 2010, we have been holding public forums for high school students and ordinary citizens to increase the number of future leaders in the field of science by showing people how invaluable agricultural chemistry is and introducing them to the pleasure of studying it.
We propose to continue organizing various activities to promote academic networking among researchers in industry–academia–government and to encourage future researchers.
Please join SAN-WA-KA events if you find them interesting and have the chance to do so.

The next event is presently under preparation. Please wait for a while until publication.
