Tohoku University’s School of Engineering will hold another interesting event on Wednesday January 22. This event became possible thanks to the cooperation of the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The lecture will be on the theme of “Smart Networks and Reconstructing the Tohoku Area” at Center Hall on Aobayama Campus (where Prof. Koichi Tanaka will give another lecture on Jan 29).
Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, is called one of the world's Smart cities. The definition of smart city is a place where people can live comfortably thanks to a smoothly operating ICT infrastructure. The targeted subjects of infrastructure include not only hardware like transportation systems and the water supply, but also software for education, medical services and disaster prevention. The Netherlands has solved various infrastructure problems with a unique method called the “Dutch Approach.”
On the day of the event, panelists will participate from many notable companies in the Netherlands such as Amsterdam Smart City, DNV KEMA, Green it, Phillips, Quby and so on. The Tohoku area is still far from completing reconstruction, so the talk by panelists from the Netherlands will include many good and useful clues and hints for a better Tohoku.
The event will be held both in Japanese and English, so international students can enjoy the talk for sure. You can take the information back home, and apply it to your own country!
