 In addition, twenty doctoral students in each research field, three young researchers and three high-school students attending the "Future Scientist’ School" operated by Shizuoka University as a consignment project of the "Global Science Campus" of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) made a presentation video in advance to present their research results in English and announced it on the symposium website. After that, Q&A and opinions about the research contents were exchanged by e-mail. In the final ceremony of the symposium, seven students and young researchers won the best presentation award.
 This time, as it was the first online event, there were some operational issues, but it will be a place to announce new research results, and also it was an opportunity to further promote international joint research in the future and to train researchers who will lead the next generation globally.

 We would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks to all speakers and all the staff.
