Scope of Symposium

The main theme of the 10th Symposium is symbolized by a single Japanese Kanji (Chinese Character) "綾(aya)". In Japanese, the character "綾"(aya) represents complexity. The theme of this year’s RIES-Hokudai international symposium is based on this character, and aims to develop theories for complex systems such as living organisms, cells and macromolecules. With this keyword in mind, we would like to implement interdisciplinary discussions under the unified theme during this Symposium.
