The Stanford Center at the Incheon Global Campus (SCIGC) holds its first SCIGC international symposium on June 3rd (US Pacific Time) / June 4th (South Korea time). In this symposium, Stanford faculty and researchers will introduce current research progress and future research plans about the smart city.
The research in SCIGC focuses not only on the construction of information and communication infrastructure and technology demonstration but also on finance, economy, related organizations, sustainability, health, social equality and public policy so as to establish an intelligent future city system that can detect in advance and respond to problems that current cities suffer from, such as gap between the rich and the disadvantaged and the environmental problems.
Our key research question in SCIGC is “How can we ensure that humanity flourishes in the cities of the future?” To lead the way in ensuring that billions of people can flourish in future cities, we focus on sustainable urban systems facilitating cross-school research collaborations on topics around urban sustainability. Specific topics that were identified included making future cities more flexible and adaptive, more intelligent and healthier, powered by clean and reliable energy sources, making cities easier to traverse, and more resilient to natural and man-made hazards.
SCIGC invites various attendees from Stanford affiliated faculty, Stanford global & local community members, academic partners worldwide, and corporate experts in South Korea and worldwide.
