The event is organized at the initiative of the Smart EDU-Hub. Prof. Atsushi Deguchi teaches at the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences at the University of Tokyo, where he also serves as Vice-Dean. His primary expertise lies in urban planning and social systems design, and he is recognized as one of the architects of the Society 5.0 concept in Japan.
