FY2022

Special Events
“Shigoto and Manabi: How I Walk Tomorrow-It’s Interesting Because We Live in an Age Where There Are No Right Answers-“

Special Project

In 2022, the University Consortium Kyoto launched a “Recurrent Education Program” for working adults who want to learn while working. In implementing each program in FY2023, we have decided to hold a special project this time in order to make learning more familiar to the working generation.
In this project, we will have the opportunity to reconsider “working” and “learning” together with the participants in order to live in an era where it is difficult to predict the future and the environment is changing rapidly.
From the lectures and dialogues of each speaker, you will feel the fun of taking on new challenges and the importance of learning independently while working, and let’s create an opportunity to change your life from tomorrow together. We look forward to your participation.

2022 Recurrent Education Program
“Contemporary Liberal Arts Course: The Present and Future of Space Migration”

Course Outline

In order to meet the needs of working adults who want to learn more, the University Consortium Kyoto has decided to open a “Contemporary Liberal Arts Course”. This year’s seminar is titled “The Present and Future of Space Migration,” and students will learn about cutting-edge knowledge about manned spaceflight, which is currently attracting attention around the world, and migration to the Moon and Mars, from a wide range of perspectives, from the perspective of survival such as food and shelter to science and technology, medicine, and law. Learn about space and the importance of the global environment. I would also like all participants to think about what we can do to protect the global environment and the coming space age.

About the content of the course

The program will be conducted with the following contents.

Date & Time: Thursday, May 12, 18:30~20:00
Theme: Space Migration and the “Core Biome Complex”
Lecturer: Yosuke Yamashiki, Professor, Graduate School of Sustainable Survivability, Kyoto University (Director, SIC Center for Human Cosmology)
The minimum system capable of “life support” on celestial bodies other than the Earth and the representative of the actual Earth ecosystem that supports them are called the “core biome complex,” and the technological system necessary for maintaining the “life support” system is named “core technology,” and the “recycling-type” society equipped with these is called the “core society,” and the concept of realizing a “space society” on a new celestial body is considered.
Date & Time: Thursday, May 26, 18:30~20:00
Theme: Space Forest (Core Biome)
Lecturer: Koji Murata (Associate Professor, Department of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University)
For humans, space has become a permanent destination, not an exploration goal. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to provide a sustainable supply of living spaces and living materials that provide mental comfort. We believe that a recycling system that grows trees in space and utilizes wood as a resource is effective. In addition, we will consider the possibility of using wood in outer space, such as wooden satellites.
Date & Time: June 9 (Thu) 18:30~20:00
Theme: Space Ocean (Core Biome) – Artificial Aquatic Ecosystems and Food Production –
Lecturer: Masato Endo (Associate Professor, Department of Marine Bioresources, Faculty of Marine Science and Technology, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology)
There is a method of raising individual aquatic organisms that make up small oceans (hydrospheres) in space, and exchanging substances such as food and waste between each organism, which can prevent the collapse of ecosystems. In this course, we will explain the technology for constructing artificial ecosystems using multiple aquatic organisms and the aquatic food production based on them, especially fish farming.
Date & Time: Thursday, June 23, 18:30~20:00
Theme: Conditions for space migration from the perspective of the peculiarities of the Earth
Lecturer: Takanori Sasaki (Assistant Professor, Department of Astrophysics, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University)
How did Earth become a planet of life? We will discuss the peculiarities of the Earth as a living planet and consider its viability on other celestial bodies based on this knowledge. In addition, we will explore the conditions for solving various problems when actually considering space migration from the perspective of planetary science.
Date & Time: July 7 (Thu) 18:30~20:00
Theme: Expanding the Sphere of Human Activity in the International Space Exploration Era
Lecturer: Hiromitsu Inatomi (Senior Researcher, Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA))
In international space exploration, Japan aims to produce first-class results in the field of science on the moon by the 2030s. In addition, there is a growing momentum for the realization of space habitation, which is necessary for the expansion of the sphere of human activity in the future. Therefore, it will be more important to consider the conditions under which a permanent human society can exist in space.
Date & Time: July 21 (Thu) 18:30~20:00
Theme: What is Space Medicine? ―Aiming for future manned flights―
Lecturer: Masahiro Terada (Associate Professor, Space Science Research Unit, Kyoto University)
In manned spaceflight, which is expected to become more active in the future, the health management of astronauts is an important issue. There are also more opportunities for the general public to fly in space, and there is a growing need to understand how people are affected by the space environment. In this lecture, we will focus on space medicine and astrobiology.
Date & Time: Thursday, August 4, 18:30~20:00
Title: International Space Law as Applied to Celestial Activities
Lecturer: Setsuko Aoki (Professor, Keio University Law School)
The current international space law, with the exception of some arms control provisions, shows little difference in the law of activities on celestial bodies and other parts of outer space. With this in mind, we will examine a legal system that regulates manned and unmanned space activities on celestial bodies. His research covers topics such as the jurisdiction and registration system for “space objects,” the law on the extraction of space resources, and human rights issues in space.
Date & Time: Thursday, August 18, 18:30~20:00
Theme: Toward the Realization of Space Migration
Lecturer: Yosuke Yamashiki (Professor, Center for Integrated Survivability, Kyoto University (Director, SIC Center for Manned Cosmology))
I have learned about the concept of space migration that leads to the “core society” from the “core biome” and “core technology”. Various concepts are being developed by NASA and other space agencies and the private sector, but we will consider the technical and economic hurdles to realize these concepts and the differences between them and our own concepts, and when we will be able to build a space society.

FY2022 Recurrent Education Program “Data Science Course for Workers”

Outline of the lecture

ビッグデータを使ったデータ解析が様々な分野で注目を集めています。しかしながら、データがどのように分析され、活用されているのかについてそのプロセスを理解し、自ら実践する機会は働く環境の中で多くありません。
