14:05 - 14:45“Future Directions of Manufacturing Shaped by the Circular Economy” In recent years, the Circular Economy (CE) has been attracting increasing attention. It is founded on two pillars: production based on recycled resources and value creation that is not dependent on material throughput. CE should be regarded as a powerful catalyst for transitioning toward a new paradigm of manufacturing, moving away from the unsustainable mass production and mass consumption. This lecture introduces an overview of CE with some enabling ideas including corporate ecosystems led by circulation providers, product life cycle design, business models, and digitalization. Dr. Yasushi UMEDA

14:45 - 15:45“Extreme Measurements and Gravitational Wave Astronomy” A century has passed since Einstein predicted gravitational waves, and we are now in an era where gravitational waves are regularly observed, and the data can be used to explore the mysteries of the Universe. To observe gravitational waves, it is necessary to measure extremely small expansions and contractions of space, and it is largely due to the development of technology over the past decades that such observations have become possible. In this lecture, I would like to introduce the measurement technology that makes gravitational wave observations possible, introduce the KAGRA project that we are currently working on, and talk about the mysteries of the Universe that gravitational wave astronomy will unravel.
