The main theme of the 10th Symposium is symbolized by a single Japanese Kanji (Chinese Character) "(aya)". In Japanese, the character ""(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.
For flying into Chitose International Airport(the closest airport to Sappporo,) there are a couple of options:
The New Chitose Airport is connected to downtown Sapporo by a rapid train every 15 minutes with a 36-minute ride.
From JR Sapporo Station to Hokkaido University Conference Hall, it takes 10 minutes by walk or 5 minutes by taxi.
