Inspired in part by rich motifs from nuclear history, and from the colors of the Okinawan landscape, the campus design takes shape. A center for learning and innovation, combining the best of Okinawan and international sensibilities.The most important goal that we saw was their interest in making an interdisciplinary and collaborative.What was different about this was, one, we had this beautiful site, and so we approached, as architects, was we want to take advantage of the beauty of the site and the natural characteristics of the site.We incorporated some artifacts or elements of Okinawan culture. The base of the buildings were built out of the local stone, and that's a very important element as far as what campus buildings sit on and how they're anchored to the landscape.Out of the Okinawan forest, the university's first laboratories enlarge.With the opening in March 2010 of Lab 1 in the center building, both beautifully designed with cutting-edge energy efficiency and equipped with the latest technology,OIST Research Community on the Onason Campus is launched.A space where scientists from across disciplines and across the world can come together to do groundbreaking research.And in November 2011, with accreditation achieved,OIST Graduate University officially comes into being.It also has a new president.After more than a year of working towards the launch,OIST Graduate University will conduct internationally outstanding education and research in science and technology and thus contribute to the sustainable development of Okinawa and promote the advancement of science and technology in Japan and throughout the world.We believe that education, learning, discovery and creation of opportunity will bind us together and enable us to collectively build peace and prosperity and to face the challenges of living together on this earth.The vision is emotion.The ball is rolling.Now it begins to pick up speed.A year later in 2012, Lab 2 is finished adding facilities for physics and chemistry which greatly expand the scope of the university.With the signature sky bridges Connecting Lab 2 to Lab 1 in center building, the core campus comes into its own.And in 2012, another major milestone, the first 38 graduate students arrive on campus.OIST has been instrumental in defining my career trajectories.I came in with a very different background.I left with a very different background.So it was kind of a transformation for me.The focus is really on the graduate students and it offers more of a designer PhD program where the student is in charge of crafting out what they want to study who they want to study it with and redefining what their future career would look like.When I did come for the first time, I think the thing that hit me the most was how flexible and how open people were with their scienceand between different sections of the university.It felt like a breath of fresh air.I think it's very rare for a research institution to have such a tight community not only within a single discipline but also across many different disciplines.Last summer, I had an opportunity to go back to OIST as a research intern.It was amazing being able to go back to the place where all my interest in science started and actually doing research there.The years rolled on.OIST keeps growing.In 2015, Completion of Lab 3 Expand the research campus again and gives a home to the graduate school and to the Technology Development and Innovation Center.The following years sees the completion of the OIST Marine Science Station a crucial link for ocean research at our island institute.In 2017,OIST appoints its next president,Dr. Peter Grues.And then in 2018OIST reaches its next great milestone.First graduation ceremony.Our first Ph.D. graduates were pioneers.When they decided to come to OIST at the very beginning, we were still untested and unproven.But they saw in us what we saw in them.Potential.Together we proved that the OIST way of doing things didn't merely work.It was a pathway to excellence.And each year with every successive cohort of graduates, we continue to demonstrate to the world what can be achieved when the traditional boundaries for science and technology are taken away.I could not be more pleased with the hard work, dedication and excellence of all our graduates.The journey continues.OIST continues to go from strength to strength.From the opening of the largest lab building yet climbing the prestigious nature index and developing a team that brings together researchers, businesses and investors to promote economic growth and sustainability in Okinawa.Our mission is to remove barriers to empower OIST students and researchers to develop their emergent ideas, entrepreneurial skills and navigate businesses and commercial opportunities for global impact.We bridged the gap between the great science at OIST and the commercial market.We take big ideas, move forward and promote the Okinawan economy.We create strong businesses connections with OIST world-leading cross-disciplinary research to foster innovation and economic opportunities in Okinawa and around the globe.We have created the platform for innovators, businesses and investors to launch new industries from Okinawa that is already contributing to strong, resilient OkinawanOIST still has its eyes on the future because we are a work in progress like the Ryukyu Kingdom of OLD where the world came to meet, trade and share new ideasOIST seeks to embrace the Okinawan tradition of openness and internationalism a shampoo a mixture of ideas and expertise constantly innovating and improvingto bring the future into focus.Science prepares us for the challenges of the future.We saw that with COVID.In less than a year, we went from the discovery of the virus to emergency use vaccine authorization from the FDA.The speed was extraordinary and based on 60 years of science.Because scientific discoveryisn't often instant, hard work and dedication are required to produce results.But when that happens, it can be world changing.At OIST, we have already shown what we can achieve in just 10 years and we have a long future of excellence ahead.As the science philosopher, naturalist, politicianFrancis Bacon saidin more skilled words several hundred years ago science should make the world a better place to live in.And this is my ultimate expectations of the scientist said OIST.We work for the advancement of knowledge for the benefit of humanity.The crucible of science and culture.There are so many different disciplines.There are so many different cultural background they came here and work together.Even though I could have done this anywhere in the world, I feel like doing it at OIST made it special and easier.10 years from now, I hope it can continue to be successful and continue to grow without losing that special identity that it has.It's changing my life.OIST.Join us for the future.I have no introduction, but I still have the pleasure of introducing Peter Gruz,president and CEO of OIST.So he may welcome us and share his reflection on the anniversary.Welcome Dr. Gruz.Welcome, honoured guests.Thank you for joining us to celebrate the 10th anniversary of OIST.Whether you are here on our beautiful campus or joining us online from your home around the world.Welcome from politics.Prime

President Emeritus to Storfen and Rennendorfen Colleagues and friends the OIST communityWelcome to all of youWatching the previous video just a moment ago reminds us what journey OIST has made what journey we have made over the past 10 years The journey started with a man and an idea it was a bold idea one that many people considered an unrealistic dream but as we see today the dream is in motion this miracle occurred through inspiration boldness trust in people and readiness to invest the man with the idea was an influential and seasoned politician Kuzuyomi On April 14th this year Mr.Oomi passed away at the age of 89 as we mourn his death we also know that we will never forget his accomplishments we are very grateful to be joined today by his daughter and member House of Representatives Asako Oomi OIST honored his legacy in 2018 when Mr.Oomi was the first person to receive an honorary doctorate degree at our very first graduation ceremony More than 10 years ago Oomi understood then he needed more than a bold idea to make his vision a reality he needed the best and the brightest the most influential in their fields and the most pioneering of individuals he traveled the world to gather Nobel Prize laureates and world-renowned science managers who could help him shape this vision the vision as you all knowOokinawa's support is an international world-leading university in science education and innovation in Ookinawa the goal that we all work our working toward is to transform the science and innovation system nationally as well as the economic system locally through OISTそれでは今回と思ったコ路へはじめぇちゃんとでルタクギ一周顔つことプロ元久保それぞれ、私たちの外国人たちの後で今まで誰もこそいません。アキトア・アリマーを2020年に進め、そして、シッティーブレンナーを2019年に失敗しました。アリマーは世界の renowned scientist, politician and leader

example, think of Professor Kanjiduya some 20 years ago joining us in the preliminary Urumalaps.This was before we were in accredited university.He could not know if this was the beginning of a great institution or a dead end for his outstanding career.What made him join?I believe the answer is this.We are all convinced of OIS's vision.To bring it to life is our mission.What you witness today is the result of the outstanding work and dedication of many.I'd love to thank you all of you personally who have contributed with your trust.I want to thank you for your support and hard work, but time allows only a summarily expression of gratitude.The Japanese government.Earlier this week, Prime Minister Kishida honored OIST with a visit to our campus.Today he sends his strong support by video as we will see later.The Okinawan government.The Okinawan promotion council.The Japanese taxpayers.This community here in Okinawa, especially in Onasan.I would also like to extend my gratitude to leaders of the scientific community supporting OIST early on.Former president of the Royal Society and Nobel laureate Venki Ramakrishnan could not be with us today in person due to COVID related travel challenges.But he shared his Kino address through a video which we will see later.Also many individuals.Jonathan Dorfin.My predecessor designed the transition of OIST promotion corporation to a graduate university.His tenure was marked with many firsts.Including welcoming the first students on campus.Together with his wife Rene,Jonathan shaped the lives of many individuals.In establishing the new graduate university,Jonathan was joined by our first dedicated and enthusiastic executives.Many of them are here today.I see former Vice CEO Bob Bachman.Former Dean and Senior Advisor Ken Peach.Former Vice President John Dickinson.Neil Calder and Marky Kubo.I also like to thank our colleagues on the board of governors, colleagues on the board of counselors.My current executive team of vice presidents, deans and advisors.Graduate students and postdoctoral researchers.Technicians.Research.The port specialist and staff scientist.Faculty and all administrative research staff.Some of whom have been with OIST since the very first day as a research unit in URUMA.While most others joined our journey more recently.Thank you all so very much.You were part of history because you made history.You were instrumental in so many positive developments in science, in education, in innovation, in the life of our community.You are the OIST family.As the OIST community, we enjoy watching the little ones in our child development center.They grow up speaking at least two languages and being at home in at least two cultures on a campus with the United Nations of Science and Education.Rinne and Jonathan, thank you so much for laying the groundwork for the Child Development Center.As a family, we reach out to our neighbors.I believe Nobel Prize Laureate Jerry Friedman was the first person who went to Okinawa School to teach students about the oneness of science.Many others from Nobel Prize Laureates to graduate students follow his example.Every year, we stretch into local schools and we welcome Okinawans to our campus.As a community, we honor all who belong and once belonged to us.We were shocked and saddened when we lost staff member Shohei Suzuki in an incident in the service of duty.We mourned his death and with the help of his family set up the Shohei Suzuki Research Safety Fund.As we move forward together, we are striving to develop and improve on every level as scientists, innovators, administrators and community members.Over the past ten years, our result in science and education have built the necessary basis for technology transfer.Science and technology are intertwined and together they fuel incremental and breakthrough innovation.Now as we look to the future, we know to fulfill our vision, it is time to ambitiously broaden our commitment to innovation.We are working on two goals.First, we are expanding our innovation partnership to facilitate the translation of OIST research from intellectual properties into products and services.Second, we are attracting entrepreneurs to develop their startups at OIST and co-create the innovation ecosystem in Okinawa.It is the quality of our science and education, the soft landing portal and business support and the partnerships with venture capital firms and the OIST Venture Fund that attract young entrepreneurs with the ambition to launch their business in Japan and expand globally.One of the startups, EF Polymer, was awarded the green startup of the year 2002 in Japan.As the number of startups grow, we need to build a second incubator and subsequently, together with our public and private partners from industry, business and government, set up an Okinawan Innovation District,in the proximity of OIST.Today, as we celebrate the past and look to the future, we also know that we have arrived at a crossroad.We received two excellent 10-year reviews recently.Both panels stated that OIST needs to grow to achieve its vision.The reason is clear.Cross-disciplinary work needs a critical mass in different disciplines to allow for the breakthroughs that happen at the interface of scientific disciplines.Yet now, instead of growing, we are faced with a reduced budget and an unclear future.The economic cost of Covid-19 pandemic, the geopolitical and economic shockwaves of Russian invasion of Ukraineand the global economy shaken by disrupted supply chains are putting a strain on Japan and the world.But if we read these events as a reason to reduce funding, we read them very wrong.On the contrary, this is the time to be courageous. This is the time to invest in the future.This is the time to secure the essential competitive advantage we find in science, technology and innovation.Japan's shrinking talent pool needs an influx from around the world.Japan needs to attract venture capital and prepare the ground for entrepreneurs.Japan's industry sector needs new startups and digitalization.That's why OIST was founded and developed in the first place.I'm daring to hope, as the Prime Minister indicated, that our government wants to invest.At the ceremony of the 50th reversion of Okinawa to Japan last Sunday, Prime Minister Kishida saidhe will, quote, promote world-class education and research at OISTand will provide strong support to ensure that the results of research benefit our society, unquote.Further, he stressed the importance of high-value industries, entrepreneurialism and a startup ecosystem.Yes, this is our purpose and destiny.But to be candid, this will not happen if we freeze OIST at the current size.This by no means is sustainable.We need to grow to fulfill our vision and we need the financial means to do so.At OIST, we are committed to diversifying funding sources and raising third-party and private funds.However, the main share needs to come from the government because basic research lays the groundworkof all inventions and our stable financial support provides the seeds we need and innovation needs.My colleagues and friends, many, maybe all of you who are with us today in Japan and around the globehave believed in OIST's vision from the start.The government of Japan started to invest in OIST when it was little more than a promise.Today we are proud that we have fulfilled that promise and exceeded expectations scientifically.This has been possible thanks to all of those in the OIST community from the very beginning to now.Tomorrow we must continue our journey.Imagine OIST in 20 years.Imagine our university with 200 or 300 faculty, double and triple the 85 of today.Imagine the impact of those faculty and of the around 500 graduate students they will guide.Over 2,000 employees will be working and discovering.Imagine the beacon that OIST will be on the international scientific map contributing to solutions for our planet'smost challenging problems, fostering the next generation of science and technology talents,creating Japanese and international entrepreneurs through incubator and accelerator programs, and attracting venture capital innovators and entrepreneurs to Okinawa.Imagine the first phase of the innovation park where people will live, work and play.Imagine this campus with sustainable features and a vibrant mix of local and diverse cultures offering jobs, housing, education, and well-being for a community of several thousand people.We know that if OIST's effort to seed an innovation ecosystem is supported, the GDP per capita of Okinawa will be boosted significantly.With 10 high quality jobs at OIST, we can generate more than 20 others.The direct and indirect economic impact from OIST, OIST affiliated startups, business support services and tax revenues together is estimated to generate substantial employment and fill a significant fraction of the gap in GDP between Okinawa and the rest of Japan.We need to seize this opportunity to fill that gap and bring more prosperity to Okinawa.My dear friends, today OIST's vision is just a few steps away.I implore you not to give up, not to accept the current stagnation and cutbacks in investment.Why?Because realizing OIST's vision means the most significant game changing impact possible on Okinawa.Today as we remember the vision and drive of those who made an idea a reality, we must be just as ambitious and inspirational.We need your support to let OIST become what it always has supposed to be.A beacon of research, a facilitator of education and the driver of economic development in Okinawa.Join us.Thank you very much.Thank you Dr.Grews for your inspirational words.Thank you for welcoming us into the OIST community and giving us much to think about.Thank you very much.So we are very fortunate to have a number of special guests who wish to provide their best wishes.First, I would like to draw your attention to the screen to see a message from the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida.内閣総理大臣の岸田 Fumioです。沖縄科学技術大学院大学OISTの総立10周年記念式典にあたり内閣総理大臣として宿時を述べる機会を得たことを大変高栄に思います。式典にご指摘の皆様、またこれまでOISTの創設や発展にご尽力されて来られた皆様総立10周年誠におめでとうございます。EVOとOISTの構想を提唱され、その発展を支えて来られたお見工事先生が先月お亡くなりになったことについてこの場をお借りして愛党の意を表するとともにお見先生のこれまでのご功績に心から経緯を表します。私が沖縄担当大臣を務めていた2007年から2008年にかけてはOISTの全身の独立行政法人沖縄科学技術研究基盤整備機構のもと構想が寝られているところでした。その後、2011年に設立されたOISTが2012年に開学しエコして10周年の節目を迎えたことをとても喜ばしく思います。先週15日には内閣総理大臣に就任して初めてOISTを訪問し研究室の視察・車座対話を行いました。OISTは高層段階から世界最高水準、柔軟性、国際性、世界的連携、三角連携の5つの柱を理念に掲げておりますが今これらの理念が体現されつつあると実感したところです。世界最高水準の教育研究を推進し国際的に高い論文成果を挙げており学内雇用語を英語とし、教員学生の半数以上が外国人という国際性の高い大学となっています。また、グルース学生をはじめ、理事会にはノーベルショー受賞者等の著名な方々が参画され世界的なネットワークが生かされています。さらには、企業との共同研究やスタートアップ創出といった三角連携も深まりつつあります。引き続きこれら5つの理念を追求し、さらなる高みを目指していただきたいと思います。我が国は今、大きな時代の転換機を迎えています。私は新しい資本主義を提唱しており、経済の負荷価値創出力を引き上げるとともに持続可能な経済社会を実現していくことが大切であると考えています。社会における課題解決を成長のエンジンへと押し上げていくため、最も重要なのは科学技術、イノベーション、スタートアップ、人への投資、グリーン・デジタルの4本バシラーでありこの4本バシラーを体現している期間がここ、OISTであります。世界的なネットワークを生かし、量子バイオ等の先端科学技術をはじめ、幅広い分野にかかる世界最高水準の教育研究が進められ、その研究成果が社会に広く歓言されることを多いに期待しています。ぜひとも沖縄弾いては日本におけるイノベーション推進やスタートアップ創出を研議する存在となっていただきたいと思います。こうしたOistの取組を政府としても人材育成や資金支援などあらゆる政策リソースを投入してしっかりと支援してまいります。娘に兵装よりOistの運営や教育研究にご尽力されている皆様に敬意を表するとともに、日頃からOistにご理解とご協力をいただいているご来品の皆様に感謝を申し上げ、私の祝辞といたします。この前にもお届けになり、お尻を拡張しており、お寺においておいてお勧めを頂くことができるようです。今のお寺は、大学であるお寺の教育であるお寺は、大学であるお寺の教育や教育においてお勧めを頂くことができるようです。2011年の開催について

would like to express my deepest appreciation to Mr. Omi and Dr. Brenner for their significant contributions and legacies.During the past 10 years, Ois did researchers such as cancer and Ebola virus, brain science and AI integration.The basic principles of world-class quality, flexibility, global collaboration and industry-academy cooperation have been realized to create innovations.It has become the world-class research and educational institution.OIST is giving confidence and a dream to children in Okinawa, research internships and a science challenge are some examples of OIST initiative for children's education.If such efforts will continue, that will inspire children to study at OIST or contribute to the global society.OIST does research on corals, Okinawan's cuisine and sea grapes, genome analysis, Okinawan's grown resistance,starfish rice, ocean-based wave power generation.These researchers have great potential to contribute to the development of Okinawa.In the near future, the researchers at OIST will change our lives and contribute to the world peace and sustainable development.The great efforts by many have resulted in patents and papers.Today, OIST is recognized as a world-class institution to compete with prominent institutions that foster numerous normal kinds of awareness.I would like to see those and our children or grandchildren will see OIST at the center of Okinawa we dream of.Okinawan and OIST have been moving forward together in these ten years.And now, OIST has become a part of Okinawa, shares the same identity as Friend or Dushigwa in Okinawan languageand is building the shared future as a family for children in Okinawan language.Okinawa is celebrating the 50th anniversary of a Reburgen to Japan this year.We have started our endeavor for the next stage.I hope OIST will not only become a global institution but also continue to be part of Okinawa to create a better future.I wish the next ten years will bring more success to OIST and also health and prosperity to all OIST members and your families.May 22nd, 2022.Congratulations.Thank you, Governor, for sharing your best wishes.OIST is very fortunate to be located in Onnason.Next, the Mayor of Onna, Yoshimi Nagahama, would like to offer his congratulations.Hello, everybody.Hello.I would like to say a few words.Today, here in Okinawa, on behalf of Onna Village,I would like to congratulate the 10th anniversary of Okinawan Institute of Science and Technology.The largest resort area in Onna Village, which is the largest resort area of the island,OIST has attracted talents from all over the world with the best in the world research environment.It has led researchers of Japan and the world and contributed to promotion and self-sustaining development of Okinawa.I came a deep respect and express my appreciation to hard work of President Peter Bruce,the former president and CEO and all the people concerned who built OIST today.Our village people have enjoyed exchanges with OIST.Every August, kids have been shown the fascinating world of science in easy to understand ways by OIST students and researchers through children's school of science.They taught very kindly our kids about the fun of studies in pursuing science.OIST Community has been very active in socializing with the hosting community of TANCHA through cultural exchanges, ballgames and get-together events.They have participated in and cooperated with us in our tourism events and festivals.They also organized regular beach cleaning activities in TANCHA area,natural friendship with the local community.At this time, I'd like to offer my heartfelt thanks to the OIST community for their contribution and friendship shown to Onna Village.OIST announced that they successfully decoded genome of umibudo and mozuku seaweeds grown by the Onna Fisheries Corporation.I believe this will improve the aquaculture technique and make fishery industry more stable.They have cooperated with us in our efforts to plant and grow corals in our ocean.It is our shared mission to keep protecting the beautiful sea of Onna.With my renewed determination, I will continue to work together with OIST to build a sustainable society with less burden on our environment.As OIST will recruit entrepreneurs and accelerate startups that help promote local industry and community.I hope that this will give much impact on human resources development and job creation for local residents.I can foresee this village will be a university town that serves as global educational hub.We will work harder to make our village even more attractive by making most of our diverse resources.In the end, I will end my remark with my deep respect to efforts made by all those concerned.I wish further success and prosperity of OIST.With this, I would like to close my remark.Thank you and congratulations.You and your colleagues are supporters of OIST.We are also very lucky to be joined today by Takeshi Ninami,CEO of Santori Holdings, who will share his thoughts on OIST.Welcome Mr. Ninami. Ladies and gentlemen, thank you.I'm honored and humbled to speak at this important occasion of the 10th anniversary of OIST.I want to begin by saying congratulations to OIST and congratulations to Dr.Gruz.for your accomplishments in leading this very special institution throughout its development.Under your capable leadership and management, OIST has already achieved great performance in the short time.It is recognized by prestigious nature index at the top academic institution with world-class scientific research.When I was younger, I had thought about being a scientist, a scientist major.My favorite subject was physics, but I was not very good at biology.I did not end up majoring in science as I decided I wanted to be a diplomat.I eventually studied business and went to work for Mitsubishi Corporation in global trading and investments.Now, I am proud that I can be involved with OIST with my current capacity as a business person.Because I have always believed that science and business must partner together.We are embarking on a never-ending journey together.This is a journey where scientific research at OIST, together with technology transfer and commercialization facilitated by business,can make Japan and the world safer, people's life better, and the planet greener.This journey is full of complex challenges of a future world is influx and it is fractured.Cross-country collaboration and people-to-people exchange have taken a huge hit.Due to pandemic-related trouble disruptions and geopolitical tensions going forward,We will need a long-term vision and a solution looking beyond short-term results.We need a sensible urgency and we need to dream big.Japan has trained up world-class problem solvers over many decades.Innovation has been the bedrock of our economy and the driver of businessesand the key source of our competitiveness over the past half century.Japan has built world-class companies in electronics and cars, not to measure our whiskey, sanitary whiskey.As we move into the fourth industrial revolution, Japan has focused on solving our domestic challengesand meeting the world's needs with advanced manufacturing and robotics.But at the same time, I fear Japan is at the risk of losing its edge.It is a risk of losing the animal spirits that are crucial in energizing business activitiesvery with ideas and ultimately Japan's economic growth.Moreover, we now find ourselves at another critical juncture.Aging demographics, public health crisis, supply chain disruptions, and fragmentation.And the sea planet, these are complex issues hitting the world and greatly affecting Japan's economy and our society.Our country needs to invest more in science and innovation and to train up the next generation of world-class problem solvers and scientific talent.both home ground and from the world.We need diverse minds, diverse ideas to unleash the innovative capacity of our institutions and our nation.OIST plays a critical role in this never-ending journey to spearhead big dreams and big findings in science.The diversity of faculty and students and OIST focus on results have contributed its historical success.Japan should take pride in this success of OIST.In fact, I believe other institutions in Japan can learn from OIST in terms of its openness to global talent.Titian funding and the freedom for scientists to do deep research.Still, OIST can and must do more.The next phase of OIST journey will take even more creativity and even more collaboration.OIST have the unique advantage of being in this special location of Okinawa.Here we are surrounded by the greatest treasures of nature and biodiversity.I know that scuba diving is one of Peter's hobbies, right?And this is one of the special things that first attracted him to come to Okinawa and OIST.OIST must attract more talented scientists and researchers from Japan and the round world.We are deeply about these treasures and who want to create impact throughout science.OIST is uniquely positioned to focus on great challenges of the coming decades where science holds a promise.Environmental science focuses on land and ocean biodiversity.Aimic science to improve physical and mental health and well-being.Deep tech and artificial intelligence to enhance human work and lives.These are just a few of many significant areas where OIST can excel.My dream is that OIST will not only lead in the scientific research domain,but also the actualization of research findings and commercialization of innovations.My teams at SANTORI have engaged in collaborative research in several areas with OISTwhere we hope to make impact, like developing basic aging technologyby analyzing how OIST reacts to exogenous stress using consumer biometric datato build a machine learning model for studying behavioral changes that leads to healthier livesand looking at effects of food ingredients on human aging makers and markers.And this is just the beginning.We'll do more together.Sometimes PhD get asked the question.What will you do after your PhD?I hope OIST can help provide the answer to the question by deepening collaborationwith the way from campus to commercialization.We will have to work together to bring more entrepreneurs and venture capitalto invest in more startups to transform scientific findings into real-world applications.I envision an Okinawa Silicon Valley that attracts young scientific and entrepreneurial talentwith startups,where OIST acts as a center for scientific excellence.Similar to how other world-class research universities, like Caltech, like Stanford,they act as research powerful houses for Silicon Valley in the United States.But it will also be different, more exciting kind of tech hub.If I may call it Okinawa Silicon Paradise with the natural beauty,heritage,and the great scuba diving for you, Peter with your friends.I envision a hub that brings together people of diverse backgrounds and cultures.Japan,Japanese academia is not exactly known for diversity, equity,and inclusion of DEI.OIST can be a role model to show the value that the DEI can bring to Japan'shigher education institutions and society.This journey, the journey itself to realize this vision will be a long one for OIST.But it will be worth it, as we think about better connecting scientific research to the economy.We also have to create ecosystem that benefits the local community in Okinawaas growth and growth increase.We have to ensure it does not only enrich a small group of people,while Silicon Valley is one of the top innovative hubs in the US and the world.It is also one of the most economically unequal parts of the US.A new tech hub in Okinawa should bring businesses and job opportunities.Lifting up the livelihood and incomes of more people.Long term plans should also include reinvesting some of the success back to Okinawaby improving the natural environment, physical and digital infrastructureand education system here.To conclude, I want to acknowledge that all of us here are big fans of OIST.Am I right? I am a big fan of OIST and I'm so glad you are too.I believe OIST plays a valuable and strategic role that benefits the world, Okinawa and Japanwhile the journey ahead is challenging.It also holds so much promise.Let us dream back together with OIST.Let us build a sense of collective endeavor.Let us unite around the common challenges we face.Let us ask what we can do to support OIST's future.The beacon of the hub of scientific excellence and business innovationthat generates broad-based, sustainable and peaceful growth.I think we are all in it together.Am I right? Thank you very much.Thank you Mr.Ninami for your ongoing support of OIST.Thank you very much.Thank you to all of our speakers for their best wishes.It is with partners and supporters like youthat we are able to bring our mission and vision to lifeand we will be able to continue to do sofor the next 10 years and beyond.ここで宿伝を頂戴いたしておりますのでご紹介いたします.We have congratulately messages.I would like to

House of Representative.I would like to congratulate the 10th anniversary of OIST.I pay my deep respect for hard work of all the peoplefor the past 10 years.I wish you further success and prosperityand health and happiness for all people who gathered here.Environmental Committee Chairperson, House of Representative,Liberal Democratic Party, Mr. Yoshihiro Seki, thank you.We also receive a message of congratulations from Mr.Shigeru Fukui,President and CEO of Goujin Shah Group.Thank you.He knows speaker couldn't join us today due to COVID restrictions,but he has gracially sent a video message.Please direct your attention to the screen to hearfrom Dr. Benki Ramakrishnan, recipient of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2009.Please watch a video from Dr. Benki Ramakrishnan.Hello, I'm Benki Ramakrishnan from the MRC Lab of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England.I'm very sorry I can't be with you today.This is largely due to the difficulties of traveling in the middle of a pandemic with COVID restrictions.But I hope to visit OIST at some point in the future.I would like to express my congratulations to OIST on the occasion of its celebrating its 10th anniversary.It's really a wonderful achievement when you can build an institute of international caliber from scratch and maintain it at that high quality.I'd like to share with you some thoughts today about the importance of investment in science and in particular in basic science of the kind that is supported at OIST.So if you'll just give me a minute, I will set up a slideshow that will take me through this talk.Okay, I'm going to start by showing you the fraction of the world's GDP by country over the last few hundred years.And what you can see is that if you look at around 1700, the world's GDP was dominated by India and China.And Europe had quite a small fraction of the world's GDP, less than about 10%.And you can see Japan again had quite a small fraction.But as you go towards the 1800s into the 1900s, you see that the fraction of the world's GDP that is Europe starts to increase.And you look at the United States, it starts dominating in the early 20th century and then throughout the 20th century.Now you can see that China has an increasing fraction over the last 20 years and this table only ends around 2005 or so.And Japan had a larger fraction of the world's GDP in the 60s and 70s than it does today.So the point is that the wealth of a country depends on knowledge and innovation.People have often asked whether colonization was the reason why Europe became wealthy.But you have to remember that the richest countries in Europe like Sweden, Switzerland and Germany had almost no colonies.On the other hand countries like Spain and Portugal had very large numbers of colonies but were among the poorest countries in Europe per capita.So rather the wealth is due to two reasons.One is trade but of course colonization can allow you to force favorable terms on trade.So there is an indirect effect there.But the biggest effect is from science, innovation and technology.And the point is that knowledge is much more important than any of the other factors including natural resources.For example, if you look at Africa or even Russia, they are not doing as well per capita even though they have huge natural resources compared to Japan, Switzerland or Singapore which have very few natural resourcesbut are extremely knowledge rich and technology rich.The other thing you can look at is the GDP through history.This fraction of GDP doesn't tell you the real story.The real story is that the overall GDP of the world has exploded.If you look in the first 6000 years since of history GDP just barely doubled.But then since 1500 it's been doubling almost every 60 years and so it's an explosive growth in GDP due to science and technology.Now this actually translates not just into wealth but also well-being.If you look at the life expectancy throughout history for many thousands of years our life expectancy hardly changed ever since agriculture.It's really not changed at all until you get science and the industrial revolution and suddenly life expectancy starts going up and it's almost doubled in the last 150 years.And you can see that poorer parts of the world including Africa are also catching up as the knowledge and technology for how to avoid infant mortality etc.It has spread throughout the world.Now basic science as you can see has brought tremendous benefits to the economy.Life expectancy has doubled but it's also a great triumph of human understanding.For example we know about the origins of the universe to how biology works.And the point is that virtually every product you can think of has basic science that underpins its development.I mean the standard thing is that even a thing like a smartphone has several Nobel prizes that went into the fundamental science behind even a device like the smartphone.And science and innovation lead to entirely new industries.For example many of the top companies today didn't exist 50 years ago but not only that even their industry didn't exist 50 years ago.For example Google or Microsoft or Apple those industries did not exist 50 years ago.And another thing that you might want to keep in mind is it's commonly thought that basic science leads to applied science which leads to technology but that's not actually true.It's rather a complicated intertwined web where they feed off each other.For example quantum theory is from fundamental physics but that led to the development of transistors and lasers which led to the development of computers and new devices and instruments.But those computers and new devices also drive new fundamental science.So it's a very complicated web and a sort of circular benefit.The other thing is that basic science can lead to technology much much later.For example Newton's laws of motion led to satellites which came 300 years later.And Einstein's theory of relativity which was done in 1905 and 1915 led to the development of GPS almost 100 years later.Now Einstein would have been very surprised to find out that the theory of relativity was being used to locate yourself using your phone in your pocket.A recent example is the development of the worldwide web which was used to share data between high energy physicists and that development led to an explosion in the use of the internet.And today we do our shopping and travel and banking and all sorts of things.You know watch movies all using the worldwide web.I'm going to give you a recent example about the interaction between basic science and human technology and human benefit.And that's the coronavirus pandemic.So here's a picture of how coronavirus attacks our cells.And you can see that there are proteins called spike proteins on the surface of our cells.And they attach to a receptor on the surface of our own cells.And so when the spike protein from the coronavirus attaches to this ACE2 receptor that allows the coronavirus to enter our cells.And once it enters our cells it can open up and the RNA genome of the virus is spilled inside our cells.And that RNA genome allows the virus to replicate and make lots of copies of itself.And then these copies can leave the original cell and go on to infect other cells.And that is how an infection spreads inside our body and then causes disease.Now the fundamental point of attachment of coronavirus the initial point of attachment is using the spike protein to attach to the ACE2 receptor.So if you can somehow block the spike protein from attaching to that receptor you will prevent the coronavirus from entering our cells.It won't be able to replicate and multiply and so it won't be able to cause disease.And that's precisely the idea behind the vaccines.So what was done was the coronavirus genome the RNA genome was sequenced and they found a stretch of the genome which coded for the spike protein.And then they were able to make the RNA just corresponding to the spike protein and introduce that into our cells.It's called messenger RNA.It's read by molecules in our cells called the ribosome which I've personally worked on to make the spike protein.And the spike protein is then displayed on the surface of the cells where this RNA was introduced.Now when these spike proteins are displayed on the surface our immune system recognizes them.It makes antibodies against them and it also makes T cells which recognize if any cell has been infected which shows the spike protein.And so effectively we've immunized ourselves to recognize the spike protein when it comes along.And so when coronavirus infects we are prepared our immune system is prepared to react to it.And by preventing the spike protein from attaching to our cells we're preventing coronavirus infection.Now you might think this is amazingly fast because it was only in December 2019 that the first cases of pneumonia and Wuhan were identified.And then a week or so later SARS-CoV-2 was identified as the causative virus for causing that pneumonia.And then only a few days later the genome of SARS-CoV-2 was sequenced.People-to-people transmission was confirmed a few days later.And then fast forward 10 months and you have the first person being given a coronavirus vaccine.And this is a picture of this person in the UK who received the COVID-19 RNA vaccine from Pfizer.Now you might think this is amazing how fast it is but actually it was built on decades of basic science.For example even to identify the virus you needed centuries of epidemiology and understanding how infectious disease spreads.You needed over a century of virus research including research on previous coronaviruses like SARS which allowed you to understand that the spike protein was important for infection.Otherwise you wouldn't even know which protein to target.And compare that with the Spanish flu of 1918 when we also had a worldwide pandemic and millions of people died.At that time we barely knew what viruses were and we knew almost nothing about the influenza virus.And certainly we couldn't have such a rapid scientific response to the 1918 pandemic.So if you look at what went into the response to the pandemic for example sequencing the virus.It was done only in a few days but that was developed over decades.For example, Fred Sanger in Cambridge showed how to sequence DNA for which he won the 1980 Nobel Prize.And the fast next generation way of sequencing that we all use including for coronavirus was developed by these two people,Bala Subramanian and Clenerman also here in Cambridge for which they shared the 2021 breakthrough prize.Now even detecting whether you have a COVID infection requires tests and the most common sensitive test,PCR test,which by the way is required to enter Japan or even to fly to Japan.Was made possible by people who were looking at bacteria that grew in hot springs.It was not.They were curious why would bacteria be able to tolerate such high temperatures.For example,in Yellowstone National Park or in the Izu Peninsula in Japan.And that's what led to the PCR test.Similarly,the LFD rapid antigen test was developed on decades of understanding antibody antigen reactionand how to make antibodies and how to make a color reaction to them and so on.Now you look at vaccine development.Introducing this mRNA into cells depended on our understanding that mRNA would be translated into proteinand that was done by the discovery of ribosomes at mRNA around 1960.And of course,as I mentioned,identifying the spike protein as a target was done with SARS around 2007.The mRNA can't just be,you can't just inject mRNA into a person.It'll never get into any cells.Rather,it needs to be encapsulated in these lipid particles.This lipid particles then fuse with our cells and introduce that mRNA into our cells.That depended on 50 years of development.You know,development of liposomes and then how to make formulations of liposome with RNAand then to test whether you can deliver mRNA into cells using these lipid nanoparticles.All of that was done before we even had a COVID pandemic.And even to make RNA,you need kilograms,actually tens of kilograms of RNA to deliver,you know,these billion doses of vaccines.And that was done by figuring out that a virus that attacks bacteria has a very efficient way of making RNAusing its own enzyme called T7RNA polymerase.And that was done by Bill Studer and John Dunn in the 1980s.Again,fundamental science long before this pandemic.And the final thing is that the RNA needs to have modified bases.And that was discovered by these two people,Kariko and Weisman,who shared the breakthrough prize in 2021.And without that,the mRNA would be rapidly degraded and we would react to it.And so that was another essential thing,again,done long before the coronavirus pandemic.So,I hope you realize that the rapid technological and medical response to the pandemic was really built on decades of fundamental sciencethat had nothing at all to do with the pandemic.And so,it's going to be the same in the future.Future prosperity will depend on innovation.You can't depend on cheap labor to drive growth.Of course,Japan is not a cheap labor country,but there are many countries that think that you could become wealthy that way.But it's no longer going to be possible because of automation and robotics.You know,you can't compete based on labor.I've already pointed out you can't compete based on natural resources.The only way you can compete on is using knowledge and innovation.And there are many fundamental problems that we need to solve.For example,food security,sustainable energy,health.And in health,I might point out that Japan is an aging society.And aging is a very fundamental multifactorial complex biological problem,which is going to require a lot of fundamental biology to understand what the problems are,why we age,and what we could do about it to stay healthy.Now,if you look at the spending on research and development by country as a fraction of GDP,then you see Japan seems to be doing fairly well.You know,3% of GDP,it's above many of these other countries.But this figure is slightly misleading because Japan has lots of large multinational conglomerates.You know,Hitachi,Sony,Ritsubishi,Honda,etc.And these companies invest a lot in R&D,but that R&D is highly targeted.It is not mostly the fundamental science which results in breakthroughs of the futureand develops entirely new technologies.If you look at government spending in Japan,it's very low.For example,in green is shown the spending in Japan,it's less than half of what the UK spends in government spending.And that's the part of the spending that's really important for driving basic science.And as a result,if you look at Japan's publication output,there's a lot of science in Japanit's very high quality,but if you look at the total output,it is not as competitive as the rest of the world.And so,and you can see that the relative change is in the wrong direction in many different fields.You might ask,why should a country invest in fundamental scienceand use discoveries that are made elsewhere?For example,in the early days of its development,the United States simply took discoveries that were made in Europeand simply applied them.And that's how the United States got wealthy.Similarly,Japan did something very similar in the 50s and 60s.It used discoveries made elsewhere like the transistor or the laserand applied them and developed its economy.And China did that quite a lot since 1989,although China is now investing heavily in basic science.The problem is you can't do that forever.And the other problem is that the countries that make the fundamental discoveries have a huge advantage.For example,there's a so-called first mover advantage.If the discovery is made somewhere,then the people around that place are the first people to hear about itand they're going to be the first people to exploit it.And so,it's not an accident that the big technological engines in the westhave grown up around places where fundamental discoveries are made.The Bay Area and Silicon Valley have grown because of Stanford and Berkeleyor the Boston area has grown because of Harvard and MITor the largest science and technology center outside of the United Statesis Cambridge in the United Kingdom.And that has grown up around the University of Cambridge and institutes like mine,the MRC lab of molecular biology.And so,you need that local interaction to be able to be the first to take advantage.And if you're the first,you always have a built-in advantage.And similarly,there's a glomeration effect.Once you get a lot of high-tech industries around a certain area,then you get lots of skills,complementary skills,and it's easier to attract people,easier to start new companies,etc.And all of this innovation,therefore,requires a strong investment in basic sciencebecause that's what nucleated it in the first place.Well,thank you very much.And I wish you all a great celebration.And I hope to visit Japan and the OISD at some point in the future.Thank you very much.Please give a big round of applause for Dr.Lama Krishnan.Thank you very much.So now,we are nearing the end of the ceremony.I'd like to inviteAiko Kano and Karan Hakovian back onstage for a closing performance.Please approach the stage.おはようございました。This is the end of OISD 10th Anniversary
