Energy Transitions & Energy Technologies: Moving towards sustainable futures in Denmark and Japan

11/6/2017

A collaboration between the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Tokai University, Japan

Date: 22 November 2017

Concept:
2017 marks 150 years of diplomatic relations between Denmark and Japan. It is also the 75-year milestone for Tokai University founded in 1942. In celebration of both anniversaries, The Technical University of Denmark (DTU) and Tokai University (Japan) join forces to collaborate on an anniversary symposium focused on sustainable development.
The ongoing transition towards sustainable energy societies requires continued commitment, cooperation and innovation. In both Denmark and Japan, determination to realize this transition is evident, and ambitious nationals goal have been set. Denmark plans to phase out fossil fuels by 2050, and Japan will reduce greenhouse gas emissions considerably by 2030. However, post-Fukushima Japan serves as a poignant reminder of the difficult balance between energy security, economic efficiency and environmental protection, an issue which goes hand in hand with sustainable development anywhere.
For a sustainable transition to succeed, many aspects need to be constantly addressed. The symposium builds on prior energy seminar collaboration between DTU and Tokai and seeks to bring together Japanese and Danish visionaries and resource persons for a discussion of approaches and specific technologies, along with a debate on current and future challenges.

International Symposium

11/14/2015

“Civilization Dialogue between Europe and Japan”
Responsibilities of Academic Research in an Era of the ‘Clash of Civilizations’

The international symposium “Civilization Dialogue between Europe and Japan” was held at Tokai University European Center (TUEC) in Copenhagen on November 13-14, 2015.
The purpose of the symposium was to re-examine and compare the fundamental values inherent in European and Japanese civilizations, respectively, concerning human existence, society and nature.
The organizing body of the symposium was Tokai University’s Institute of Civilization Research (ICR). ICR was established in 1959 and has since its inception promoted the academic study of human civilizations throughout the world. In 2015, a research project bearing the title “Trans-Disciplinary Humanities” was launched for the purpose of conducting comprehensive research on contemporary civilization. TUEC, co-organizer of the recent symposium, has since its opening in 1970 acted as a hub for academic relations in Europe. Over the years, TUEC has conducted countless international symposia, seminars and workshops covering a wide variety of academic topics, and in doing so has accumulated a considerable network of contacts within academia and research environments in Europe.
