Breaking Boundaries in Theoretical Science

This project aims to overcome the increasing fragmentation of modern science by enhancing openness and fostering new directions in theoretical research within the Faculty of Science. By organizing cross-disciplinary talks and seminars, we will create a vibrant space where researchers and students --- both from the University of Osaka and beyond --- can engage and collaborate. Our goal is to pursue pioneering research that transcends disciplinary boundaries and hierarchical structures in nature, seeking new paradigms from a theoretical perspective. As part of this initiative, we proudly host the Nambu Colloquium, named in honor of Nobel Laureate Dr. Yoichiro Nambu, Distinguished Professor at the University of Osaka.

Fostering new scientific joint research

The TJR serves as a hub for cultivating innovative scientific collaboration at the University of Osaka. Through initiatives such as the Nambu Colloquium and a series of topical workshops and seminars, we aim to spark dialogue and inspire new ideas. By leveraging our collaborative research agreement with other institutes, we will create an open environment where researchers from within and beyond Osaka come together. Building on the legacy of great scientists like Yoichiro Nambu and Hideki Yukawa, our vision is to establish the University of Osaka as a vibrant melting pot of scientific discovery.
