We need to create a new future. We have to think about how we can utilize science and technology, which problems we should solve, and how. To shape the future, it is the past that we should learn from. The important thing is not only seeing the future but also taking the future as a continued story from the past. Researching history tells us how our predecessors perceived the world and human nature. Every lecture, workshop, and experiment will offer a historical perspective.
