SANKEN TECHNO SALON is a forum for exchange between SANKEN, Osaka University and the industrial world, with lectures on SANKEN’s research results and other topics, as well as for exchanging opinions and getting to know each other.

Summary
　Functional materials and pharmaceuticals based on molecular science are one of the core research fields driving Japanese industry. In order to maintain and further strengthen the superiority of these industries, it is necessary not only to pioneer molecular functions, but also to continuously achieve innovation in manufacturing process technology, application to cutting-edge products, and high value-added development.
　In the 109th SANKEN Techno Salon, we will invite researchers who are active in this field to introduce their efforts to develop the functions of molecules and to implement them in society.
