Special feature:
“Work and Learning: How I’ll Live Tomorrow – It’s Interesting in an Era Where There Are No Correct Answers”<\/h2>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Special<\/p>\n

The University Consortium Kyoto launched a “Recurrent Education Program” in 2022 aimed at working adults who wish to study while working. In preparation for the implementation of each program in 2023, we have decided to hold a special event to make learning more accessible to working generations.
\n This event will provide an opportunity for participants to reexamine the meaning of “work” and “learning” as we live in the “VUCA era,” an era in which the future is difficult to predict and the environment is rapidly changing.
\n Through the speakers’ lectures and discussions, we hope you will gain a sense of the excitement of taking on new challenges and the importance of proactively learning while working. Let’s create an opportunity to change your life starting tomorrow together. We look forward to your participation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

2022 Recurrent Education Program
: “Modern Liberal Arts Course: The Present and Future of Space Migration”<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Course outline<\/h5>\n

\n \u3000In response to the growing demand for re-education among working adults, who say, “Even adults want to learn!”, the University Consortium Kyoto is launching a “Contemporary Liberal Arts Course.” This year’s course, titled “The Present and Future of Space Migration,” will explore cutting-edge knowledge on manned space flight, which is currently attracting worldwide attention, and migration to the Moon and Mars, from a wide range of perspectives, from survival-related issues such as food and shelter to science and technology, medicine, and law. By learning about space, participants will once again realize the importance of the global environment. We hope that all participants will consider what we can do to protect the global environment and in the coming space age.\n<\/p>\n

About the course content<\/h3>\n

The following will be implemented:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\n Date and Time: Thursday, May 12th, 18:30-20:00
\n Theme: Space Migration and the “Core Biome Complex”
\n Lecturer: Yosuke Yamashiki, Professor and Department Head, Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability, Kyoto University (Director of the SIC Human Space Research Center)\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \u3000We will define the minimum system capable of “sustaining life” on celestial bodies other than Earth and the representative of the actual Earth ecosystem that supports it as the “core biome complex,” name the technological system necessary to maintain the “life support” system as “core technology,” and refer to a “circular” society that possesses these as the “core society,” and consider a concept for realizing a “space society” on a new celestial body.\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n Date and time: Thursday, May 26th, 18:30-20:00
\n Theme: Space Forests (Core Biome)
\n Lecturer: Koji Murata (Associate Professor, Department of Forest Science, Graduate School of Agriculture, Kyoto University)\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \u3000For humankind, space exploration has become a goal of permanent residence rather than an exploration purpose. To achieve this, a sustainable supply of living space and living materials that provide peace of mind is necessary. We believe that a recycling system in which trees are grown in space and wood is used as a resource would be effective. We also consider the possibility of using wood in space, such as in wooden artificial satellites.\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n Date and time: Thursday, June 9th, 18:30-20:00
\n Theme: Space Ocean (Core Biome) – Artificial Aquatic Ecosystems and Food Production –
\n Lecturer: Masato Endo (Associate Professor, Department of Marine Biological Resources, Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology)\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \u3000One way to develop a miniature ocean (aquasphere) in space is to raise individual aquatic organisms and exchange materials such as food and waste between them, which can prevent the collapse of the ecosystem. This course will explain the technology for constructing an artificial ecosystem using multiple aquatic organisms and aquatic food production based on this, particularly fish farming.\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n Date and time: Thursday, June 23rd, 18:30-20:00
\n Theme: What are the conditions for space migration considering the unique characteristics of Earth?
\n Speaker: Takanori Sasaki (Assistant Professor, Department of Astrophysics, Graduate School of Science, Kyoto University)\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \u3000How did Earth become a planet that can support life? We will discuss the unique characteristics of Earth as a planet that can support life, and use this knowledge to examine the possibility of habitability on other celestial bodies. Furthermore, we will explore the conditions for solving the various problems that arise when considering space migration from the perspective of planetary science.\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n Date and time: Thursday, July 7th, 18:30-20:00
\n Theme: Expanding the sphere of human activity in the era of international space exploration
\n Speaker: Hiromitsu Inatomi (Research Director, Interdisciplinary Sciences Division, Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA))\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \u3000In the field of international space exploration, Japan aims to produce first-class scientific results on the surface of the moon by the 2030s. Furthermore, momentum is building toward the realization of space habitation, which will be necessary for the further expansion of human activity. Therefore, it will become increasingly important to consider the conditions under which a permanent human society can exist in space.\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n Date and time: Thursday, July 21, 18:30-20:00
\n Theme: What is space medicine? – Aiming for future manned flights –
\n Lecturer: Masahiro Terada (Associate Professor, Kyoto University, Synergistic Studies for Space Research Unit)\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \u3000As human spaceflight is expected to become more and more popular in the future, astronaut health management is an important issue. In addition, as opportunities for ordinary people to fly in space increase, there is an increasing need to understand how humans are affected by the space environment. This lecture will focus on space medicine and astrobiology.\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n Date and Time: Thursday, August 4th, 18:30-20:00
\n Theme: International Space Law Applied to Celestial Activities
\n Lecturer: Setsuko Aoki (Professor, Keio University Law School)\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \u3000With the exception of some arms control provisions, current international space law is largely the same for activities on celestial bodies and other parts of outer space. Keeping this in mind, this book examines the legal systems governing manned and unmanned space activities on celestial bodies. It covers topics such as jurisdiction and registration systems for “space objects,” the law of space resource extraction, and human rights issues in space.\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n Date and time: Thursday, August 18th, 18:30-20:00
\n Theme: Towards the realization of space migration
\n Speaker: Yosuke Yamashiki (Professor and Department Head, Graduate School of Advanced Integrated Studies in Human Survivability, Kyoto University (Director of the SIC Human Space Research Center))\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n \u3000We have learned about the space colonization concept, which connects “core biomes” and “core technologies” to “core societies.” Various concepts are underway at NASA, space agencies around the world, and private companies, but we will consider the similarities and differences between these concepts and ours, as well as the technological and economic hurdles to realizing them, and think about when we will be able to build a space society.\n <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

2022 Recurrent Education Program “Data Science Course for Working People”<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Lecture Summary<\/h5>\n

\n \u3000Data analysis using big data is attracting attention in various fields. However, there are not many opportunities in the workplace to understand the process of how data is analyzed and utilized and to put it into practice.
\n \u3000In this course, after learning basic statistical methods through case studies, students will use real-life examples to explain how data is collected and analyzed, and will then perform data analysis using actual data. The goal is to deepen students’ understanding of data analysis through this process.\n<\/p>\n
