The first Coffee Talk takes place on Mach 9, 2021 and is dedicated to the Japanese government’s new Basic Plan for Science, Technology and Innovation, which is scheduled to take effect in April 2021.
Moderator Axel Karpenstein (DWIH Tokyo) is in conversation with Fumikazu Sato (Japanese Cabinet Office) and Dr. Lothar Mennicken (German Embassy Tokyo). Together they explore the goals of the new Basic Plan, the course it sets for the Japanese research landscape, and the potential it brings for joint German-Japanese research projects.
The event takes place in English with Japanese simultaneous interpretation.
