“Design enables complex scientific works to be communicated with greater reach [beyond the scientific community], empowering them with the knowledge to enable a shift in behaviour which enacts change” - The University of Tokyo DLX Design Lab Treasure Hunting Handbook.
The intersection of design and science is quite rare. The two may even seem contrary to one another. From rather unregimented and abstract, to the most precise and specific, together their outcome instils magic. The vision of such activity would, in the short term, allow both researchers and societies to adapt to the rapid tech advancement. Simultaneously, in the long run, we could bear in mind how we create an inclusive and advanced future.
In recent years, academic institutes around the world have been experimenting with creating new collaborations between designers and scientists.
In this event, four speakers from both scientific and design backgrounds, from Japan and Israel, will present recent projects where interdisciplinary teams of researchers and designers collaborated on concept ideation, material development and product design. They will share their experiences, challenges and outcomes.
Speakers:
Lecturer SUGIHARAKaori - Biophysical Engineering Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo
Associate Professor IKEUCHI Yoshiho - Biomolecular and Cellular Engineering Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo
Professor SHARON Eran - Nonlinear Physics The Racah Institute of Physics, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
Designer BEN DAVID Maya - Product Design and Innovation Bezalel Academy of Art and Design, Jerusalem
Organizers :
Dr. Romi Mikulinsky (Ph.D.) - Head of the Master of Design Program in Industrial Design, Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design
Yuri Klebanov - DLX Design Lab, Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo

* “Israel Month @UTokyo Komaba Research Campus” is organized by ROLES (RCAST Open Laboratory for Emergence Strategies) of the University of Tokyo and supported by the Embassy of Israel in Japan. ---
ROLES (RCAST Open Laboratory for Emergence Strategies) of the University of Tokyo with the support of the Embassy of Israel in Japan, has organized “Israel Week” in 2021. The Year 2022 marks the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Israel and Japan. With great pleasure, this year’s "Israel Month @UTokyo Komaba Research Campus" event will feature a series of webinars on the latest trends and developments in Israel and their impact on Japan-Israel relations. The webinars in this framework will cover a broad range of topics, including recent developments in relation between Japan and Israel, Israel and the Arab countries, Greentech and climate change technologies, the impact of blockchain technology on policies, and how Earth Science grasps the global warming. A series of virtual seminars and lectures on Jewish thought and other religious traditions are to be held on this occasion inviting leading scholars from Israel.
"Israel Month” aims to provide an international forum for the exchange of ideas and inspiration from researchers and experts across different fields, and to seek opportunities for collaboration among the participants from academia, NPOs, industry, and the public sector.
