Expectations for the Osaka-Kansai Expo

We view the Osaka-Kansai Expo as a visionary event that not only showcases innovation, but also actively shapes the trajectory of global collaboration and sustainable development. As one of the world’s leading academic institutions, Princeton University is excited about the Expo’s potential to highlight how advanced research, education, and technology can be leveraged to build more inclusive and resilient societies. We anticipate that this gathering will accelerate cross-sector partnerships, bridge cultural perspectives, and spark ideas that push the boundaries of science and technology in service of humanity. The Expo provides a powerful opportunity to imagine and prototype solutions for tomorrow’s most pressing challenges.

Expectations for DOIC

We consider the DOIC a groundbreaking initiative that exemplifies the future of global research collaboration. Its use of metaverse technology creates a boundaryless environment where ideas can be exchanged freely, regardless of physical location or time zone. For researchers at Princeton, this represents an exciting opportunity to engage in dialogue with diverse thinkers from around the world, including those in disciplines we might not otherwise intersect with. We look forward to the DOIC becoming a living ecosystem for innovation—one that not only facilitates knowledge sharing, but also nurtures co-creation and broadens the reach of our academic work in ways that were previously unimaginable.
