Overcoming the divisions in the nuclear crisis 
: Connecting the ‘Private/Individual’ and the ‘Fukushima Incident’

The severity of the incident has become more and more evident. The impact of large amounts of released radiation on global society in the future is immense, not to mention the damage and harm inflicted on the surrounding area. Under a social structure that has incorporated nuclear energy, every person is affected by this disaster. However, everyone is at the same time inevitably experiencing divisions in society because of the damage and harm caused by the calamity. How can all parties be connected to each other? How can communal spirit  be created? How can a university be involved in this issue? This theme will be examined from various perspectives.

We will also search for a new style of knowledge for the future.
