Co-create with us as the Ignition Session Comes to the Philippines: Sparking New Collaboration Ideas with Conference Participants
As Leave a Nest continues fostering collaboration and creation of new knowledge and ideas, the company started implementing the “Ignition Session” in the Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference (HIC). In this session, the conference participants from different institutions form a team and actively communicate with each other to share their ideas and expertise in different fields. Together, they develop collaborative ideas in solving different problems under the specific theme. These ideas become the spark and ignite further knowledge creation and collaboration, taking more steps toward advancing science and technology for global happiness.
Last August 31, 2024, the Ignition Session was also implemented in the Hyper Interdisciplinary Conference in Osaka, wherein two themes were presented: (1) “Utilizing the Results of Astronomy Research to Benefit Society on Earth” from the Kyoto University and (2) “Interdisciplinary research topic connected to the Philippines” from Leave a Nest. The winner of the Leave a Nest Theme of the ignition program was a team composed of participants from Yuge Technical School, Azumi Paper Filter Co., Ltd., and Innoqua Inc. who presented their ideas and technologies that may help empower communities through water education. In order to help make their idea into a reality, Leave a Nest brought the team to the Philippines to learn more about the water and education problems the country encounters and find more teammates in tackling this problem.
This is made possible through the implementation of the Ignition Session in the Philippines in partnership with Focus Systems Corporation, an IT company from Japan who has been supporting several education, research and startup initiatives in Japan and Southeast Asia in partnership with Leave a Nest.
And so, HIC PH 2024 presents the following themes and awards of the Ignition Session:
(1) Solutions for Issues in the Philippines and the SEA Region
Focus Systems Ignition Award | Cash Prize of 15,000 PHP
Focus Systems Corporation is in search of passionate individuals and teams that they can work together with to bring solutions to different problems in Southeast Asia. Recognizing the potential of the Philippines in developing such solutions with the Filipinos’ passion, experiences, resilience and innovative minds, Focus Systems is hoping to help bridge them with Japan and Southeast Asia and turn their solutions into reality.
(2) Empowering Remote Communities Through Water Education with Science and Technology
Leave a Nest Ignition Award | Cash Prize of 15,000 PHP
As an archipelago, the Philippines houses different communities even in remote areas that are surrounded by waters but are also encountering several problems related to it. Fueling the ignition created by the team in Osaka, we are in search of individuals and institutions that can help improve water education in the Philippines, including topics related to the treatment and conservation of water and our water bodies.
