Space and life are important keywords when we explore new research fields.
In September 2002, in collaboration with the National Space Development Agency of Japan (NASDA), the Science Academy of Tsukuba organized a symposium titled "Science Frontier Tsukuba 2002" (theme: Think What to Learn From the Universe), which was held to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the NASDA Tsukuba Space Center..
As the next step from SFT2002, this project aims to provide a forum for effective discussion where researchers will discuss the frontiers of research and technology, and the possibilities in extreme situations, based on the keywords of space and life from their respective viewpoints, hence resulting in specific joint research.
Also, with the participation of a wide range of people including the general public and students in order to contribute to scientific education, the project will provide a basis for fostering their scientific minds.
