Outline of Final Research Achievements

We successfully organized three international symposia focusing on photosynthesis research, allowing participants to engage with high-quality global discussions. These events were crucial opportunities for new scholars to experience firsthand the level of scientific debate found at international conferences. The third symposium was particularly important, as it helped in the recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.
On the other hand, international workshops offered a more focused and thorough exchange of information. Respected researchers from other countries were invited for specific periods to encourage interactions with young local scientists, including students. Furthermore, we provided financial support for international travel to promote collaboration and enable the sharing of research results.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

光合成分野は、特に国際的な連携がうまく行われている分野であり、国際活動支援班の活動により、その協力体制の文化を次世代へと継承することができた。この事実は、科学的に重要な重要性だけでなく、異文化への理解や多様な問題への国際的な協力を通じて解決を目指す人材育成にも寄与している。
