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.
