2nd HOPE Meeting Lecturers
Prof. Ryoji Noyori: Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2001 President, RIKEN
<Chairperson's Message: Dr. Ryoji Noyori (2001 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry)>
"Embodying the Beauty of Science within Yourselves"
I have chosen “Art in Science” as the theme of the next HOPE Meeting, for I believe scientific pursuit to be one of man’s most noble yet beautiful activities, driven as it is by a relentless desire to pursue truth within the universe while contributing to human progress and wellbeing. It’s my hope that young researchers will, in addition to developing academic expertise, cultivate within themselves as scientists a strong sense of responsibility to society coupled with a lofty spirit that personifies “art in science.”
The second HOPE Meeting will be held from September 27th to October 1st in Hakone, a picturesque mountain resort to the west of Tokyo. At the meeting, my colleague Nobel laureates and eminent representatives of the arts will share their wisdom and experience via interfaces with the participating young scientists. On the last day, I will invite the group to visit my institution RIKEN. They will also tour some cultural sites around Tokyo. I expect the participants of this HOPE Meeting to be greatly inspired through their interactions with some of the world’s most leading scholars while enjoying a warm interchange with future colleagues from around the Asia-Pacific region. I look forward to seeing you in Hakone at the next HOPE Meeting.
