CAPSIL Meeting Tokyo, Japan
From Capsil Wiki
The CAPSIL consortium members gathered in Tokyo for our second CAPSIL Workshop in Waseda University on July 30/31. Each CAPSIL meeting had an increasingly expansive set of objectives in order to involve the entire independent living community from all three regions (US, Japan, and EU), in the process of developing our roadmap and instantiating CAPSILs.
Professor Hashimoto was instrumental in the planning and coordination for this event. Included we had a visit to the Waseda University Joint Institution for Advanced Biomedical Sciences along with policy, funding and independant living research presentations from, Prof. Toshiyo Tamura (Chiba University), Mr. Dai Hiyama (Yamatake Co.), Mr. Tatsuya Yamazaki (NICT), Mr. Kunihiko Niwa (JST/CRDS). During this two day workshop the members of the consortium updated each other on their progress with instantiating CAPSILs, knowledge dissimination and general roadmap work.
