About Symposium
Science and technology are key to overcoming crises. So how are we approaching the unprecedented crisis of COVID-19? Experts from Stanford University, an iconic leader in Silicon Valley’s innovation ecosystem, and from the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), an influential public research funding agency, will come together to discuss today’s cutting-edge COVID-19 research trials and the attempts to implement the results in society. Please join these two organizations on the frontline of the COVID-19 response as they share their experiences, foster mutual understanding, and prepare for the deployment of new science and technology innovations.
This symposium is co-hosted by the Japan Science and Technology Agency and the Stanford School of Medicine.
