*日本語の記事はこちら

Thank you for your participation which have made this event a success! 
The recording and the extended abstracts will be posted in mid-February.
Stay tuned with us! 

Cyber Civilization Research Center (CCRC) at Keio University Global Research Institute cordially invites you to join our first International Conference on February 1, 2022. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 situation, we have decided to move the scheduled hybrid format to an online event. We hope this event can serve as a platform to share experiences, exchange insights, and discuss the emerging trends, opportunities, and challenges of increasingly digital societies at this critical time.

This time, we invite CCRC’s Senior Fellow, Mike Nelson, to give us the keynote speech on the theme – The Future of Cyber Civilization. He is also the Senior Fellow in the Technology and International Affairs Program at Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. He has a strong set of interdisciplinary expertise in the future of the internet, cyber-policy, technology policy, and innovation policy with rich experiences across different industries, including business, academia, and government. After the keynote speech, he will join the high-level panel discussion with Joi Ito, Director, Center for Radical Transformation, Chiba Institute of Technology & Research Member at CCRC, and also our executive team – David Farber, Jun Murai and Jiro Kokuryo.

Last autumn, we circulated a call for abstracts on how we might design the new Cyber Civilization. We have received numerous outstanding abstracts across various disciplines and contributors from different regions of the world. We have selected ten abstracts that will be presented during the event. The papers are categorized into three major themes: (1) Governance of the Cyberspace; (2) Health data with trust & (3) Architecture for trust. All the papers discuss significant issues that we should be considered in constructing the new technological and societal system architectures.We look forward to their presentations and new insights into the discussion.

*This event will be recorded, and the extended abstracts will be published together with the videos after the event.
