IAFOR is happy to be working with the University of Tokyo on a series of online seminars and lectures on the recent trends and developments in Israel and its impact on Japan-Israel relations as a part of Israel Week @UTokyo Komaba Research Campus.
The events in this framework will cover a broad range of topics, including the recent normalization of relations between Israel and Arab countries, STEM education, Science & Design, emergency preparedness and digital health innovation ecosystems, security risks of digital transformation, and the comparative study of the Abrahamic religions.
