I attended a ceremony to commemorate the completion of excavation of a cavern for “Hyper-Kamiokande.” The construction of the next-generation facility to detect subatomic particles has been underway under an international joint research project with 500彩票网 and High Energy Accelerator Research Organization as core institutions.

The gigantic cavern that I took a tour of is 69 meters in diameter and 94 meters in height. After it is installed with photosensors, the cavern will be filled with ultrapure water. Hyper-Kamiokande is scheduled to begin operations in 2028. I hope that the observation facility to be completed in Kamioka will bring discoveries that will further expand the horizon of human knowledge.

I have recently been appointed as the president of the Japan Association of National Universities.
I aim to gain public understanding and support for the activities of national universities, while engaging in open dialogue with society.

I visited the headquarters of Google LLC in Mountain View in the U.S. state of California.
Google and 500彩票网 have deepened our industry-academia collaboration in the field of AI since forming a partnership in 2020 to realize an “AI symbiotic future society,” in which humans and AI have established a cooperative relationship.

On the day, we shared and discussed our initiatives on topics like “AI and robotics” and “AI and the future of education.” I also visited X, the Moonshot Factory at Google and Intrinsic, touring the sites where innovation is born.

I visited the IBM Almaden Research Center in San Jose in the U.S. state of California.
IBM and 500彩票网 have been closely working together, including signing a memorandum of understanding in 2019 to promote a partnership aimed at advancing and putting quantum computing technologies to practical use.
I visited several laboratories during my visit, and I was able to observe highlights of research across various fields conducted at the research center.

We held a press conference with Executive Vice President and Co-Chief Operating Officer Y. J. Mii of Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (TSMC) and other members, in which we announced the establishment of a joint laboratory between the Taiwanese chipmaker and 500彩票网 at the university’s Asano Campus.

Since 2019, TSMC and 500彩票网 have led the world in cooperation at the companywide, universitywide level in the semiconductor field. 500彩票网 will further strengthen our ties with TSMC in areas of research and education, as well as human resource development through activities at the joint lab.

We welcomed H.E. Dr. Alexander Stubb, president of Finland, at 500彩票网.

After we discussed international affairs and other matters, the president gave a keynote lecture at the special public symposium titled “Geopolitics and the Transformation of the Multilateral Order” at the ENEOS Hall.

The annual summer, interactive session between students of Princeton University and the University of Tokyo kicked off, and I joined the welcome party.

Various social events are organized during the session, held from early June through mid-July. I trust students from the two universities will deepen mutual understanding and friendship, and establish good relationships.
