The seeds of both types of research lie all around you: \"research that starts from curiosity\" to solve the mysteries around you, and \"research that starts from a sense of mission\" to solve actual problems in the world. At this year's Tohoku Conference, we are looking for a variety of research themes that start with curiosity and a sense of mission. In addition, there will be talks by researchers who are actually trying to change \"Aomori, the shortest-lived prefecture in Japan\" through their research. We hope that this conference will bring together researchers who will change the future of this rich region (Sachie Momokegi, Tohoku Conference
