Following the dramatic development of information technology in the late 20th century, the onset of the 21st century brings with it the expectation that a rapid fusion of technologies - specifically nanotechnology, information and communication technology, and biotechnology will consequently cause socioeconomic changes. Amid rapid diffusion of technological convergence and academic conciliation, traditional lines dividing industries are becoming increasingly ambiguous.
With rapid fusion among once-independent industries and academic fields comes the need to nurture proficient human resources that can accommodate these overall trends of fusion technology development. This session will discuss knowledge change trends, knowledge creation, the international mobility of the high skilled, and knowledge acquisition processes favorable for the development and utilization of human resources able to address the demands of technological fusion.
