Coordination Meeting 2026

On January 14, the S&T Diplomatic Circle Kansai convened for its annual coordination meeting, bringing together 19 participating delegations to map out the network's agenda for 2026. Members collectively planned 10 upcoming visits to cutting-edge research centers and companies across the Kansai region, reinforcing the network's commitment to open science diplomacy and cross-sector engagement.

This gathering marked a milestone as the S&TDC Kansai celebrated its 5th year of collaboration since its founding in 2022. Our thanks go to Chairman Dr. Felix Moesner (Switzerland) for his warm hospitality in hosting this year's meeting.
