UK-Japan Genome Stability Symposium
This event is supported by the JSPS London Symposium and Seminar Scheme and is hosted by scientists from the Genome Damage and Stability Centre, University of Sussex with scientists from Tokyo, Kyoto and Mishima Universities.
With research partners from other UK institutions, they will discuss their latest research on genome stability and DNA damage response over two days and explore possibilities for collaboration.
Date: 09:00–17:00 Thursday, 19th January 2023 and 09:00 to 17:00 Friday, 20th January 2023
Venue: Genome Damage and Stability Centre, University of Sussex, Fulton Campus

JSPS London Symposium: Non-Equilibrium Dynamics, Thermodynamics and Fluctuations: From Fundamentals to the Next Generation of Microscopic Thermal Machines
With the next technological revolution underway in the quantum world, there is now an increasing need to develop thermal devices such as heat engines or refrigerators that operate on small length and energy scales. To uncover the fundamental principles that govern such microscopic machines and to realize them in experiments, a whole breadth of challenges must be overcome. Key topics in this context include the nature of non-equilibrium thermal and quantum fluctuations, non-Markovian time evolution laws, collective effects in many-body systems as well as the role of strong coupling and finite reservoirs. This Symposium brings together researchers from Japan, Europe, and the University of Nottingham, who work in stochastic and quantum thermodynamics, cold-atom physics, and wider areas of quantum many-body physics. Its overarching aim is to find new avenues towards understanding the complex interplay between the dynamics, thermodynamics, and fluctuations of classical and quantum systems out of equilibrium and thus to help paving the way for the next generation of microscopic thermal machines. Besides the scheduled 30-min talks, the program leaves ample time for discussions and to build new connections between Japan, the UK and Europe.
Location: De Vere Orchard hotel, Nottingham
Date(s): Monday 12th (09:00) - Thursday 15th December 2022 (13:30)

The Social World of Butoh Dance: Screening an Unseen Performance from the 1970s
This event is supported by the JSPS London Symposium and Seminar Scheme and includes two days of talks and a screening of Shiokubi (1975) – a performance created by butoh dancer Bishop Yamada, overseen by Tatsumi Hijikata. This performance marks the founding of Yamada’s own dance company Hoppo Butoh Ha in Tsuruoka (Yamagata). The performance was shot as part of a video project known as the VIC (Video Information Center), which includes 1,200 tapes of performances, exhibitions, and events from the 1970s and 1980s. Those involved in the project were not only interested in documenting the performance of Shiokubi itself, but the whole world around the performance: from arrival at the venue, to final rehearsal, to afterparty. Researchers attending this event will have the chance to watch these additional materials, as well as situating the film within the context of the VIC archive and the Tatsumi Hijikata Archive, both held at Keio University Art Center.
