Overview
On July 11, 2024, WPI-SKCM² (Hiroshima University) and WPI-ICReDD (Hokkaido University) will present a Joint Research Symposium showcasing the latest research from both institutes. WPI-SKCM² specializes in the intersection between topology and chirality, including the design of artificial knot-like particles. WPI-ICReDD focuses on chemical reaction design and discovery from an interdisciplinary perspective. Both institutes aim to drive technological advancement for a better society and world. If you wish to join the 1-day Joint Research Symposium, please register here. (*Registration Closed. Deadline: Tuesday, June 25)
For those who wish to present a poster at the 1-day Symposium, please also register via the same registration form.
- Date: Thursday, July 11th, 2024
- Time: 9:00 – 19:35
- Venue: ICReDD Hall (ICReDD Building, 4F) & Online

Summer School
This event is part of a longer 10-day Summer School. The first part of the event, from July 10-16, 2024, will be held at Hokkaido University, and the remaining days, from July 17-19, will be held at Hiroshima University. During this 10-day event, participants will enjoy an enlightening series of lectures and research talks from leading researchers in the realm of knotted chiral meta matter, including Jorn Dunkel (Mechanics & Knots; Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Ingo Dierking (Chirality in liquid crystals and soft matter; Manchester University), and Marjolein Dijkstra (Machine learning in large-scale computation; Utrecht University). The School will include poster sessions and other community-building activities.
*Download flyers.
Events will be organized in a hybrid manner, so online participation is also welcomed.
