The 6th Annual IAMSCU Research University Symposium
"Artificial Intelligence, ICT and Social Transformation: Higher Education in a Post-COVID World" will be held online, on Saturday, January 9, 2021. The event is open to all for free, does not require pre-registration, and has English-to-Japanese/Japanese-to-English translation.

The Coronavirus Pandemic has deeply affected education in numerous and far-reaching ways. In recent years, technical progress in AI and ICT has been accelerating at an exponential rate, and the pandemic has accelerated the adoption of digital technologies in education. The pandemic has presented many challenges to educational institutions and is rapidly advancing the shift to digital and online tools for schools of all levels.

This symposium examines AI, digitalization and social transformation, focusing on education in the Post-COVID era. Recognizing that there is no returning to a Pre-COVID world, this symposium seeks to identify positive ways that institutions and educators can deal with the new realities, and the role that AI and ICT play in that transformation.

4 sessions will be held in 4 different cities, Tokyo, Seoul, Manila and Lucknow.

From AGU, Professor NOZUE Toshihiko of the College of Education, Psychology and Human Studies, Department of Education (Dean of University Library, Cooperative director of the Singularity Institute) will be participating from 13:00.
