The need for global researchers Science and technology are progressing exponentially in the 21^st century.

We need researchers to be able to plan out the present and accurately perceive the future society. No new technology is created overnight. Multiple improvements can create an entirely new kind of technology. When integrated knowledge in one field is combined with surrounding technology, completely new technologies can be created. In order for all of this to be possible, we should break down the walls between individual researchers and countries and conduct joint research. I think that the life of the technology we have developed today is not so long, and I am confident that if we continually challenge ourselves, we can create a lot of outstanding new technologies.
