Dear Partners, Participants, Students, and Friends,

I am pleased to inform you the 7th Seirei International Research Conference（SIRC2025）is now open. Last year, the SIRC2024, we received a record number of presentations. I would like to appreciate and honor all those who presented and participated in the conference.

It has been a few years since the COVID-19 infection limited our lives. Many people's jobs have also been affected. The SIRC has also experienced journal presentations and online sessions. However as I have said many times at this conference, humanity has the wisdom, the effort and the problem-solving ability to face up to difficulties. The difficulties we have experienced in the last few years have led to a dramatic development in the information-sharing technology of online communication. As a result, our lives have become more streamlined. Information is now available remotely and our lives, including shopping, have become more efficient.

There are still things that previously required face-to-face communication. In research, discussions in the process of creating research are often based on each other's true feelings, and brainstorming sessions for imagining new knowledge are often derived from everyday conversations. In this way, in science, the way to the next stage of growth is to create the wisdom to use the two differently and to utilize the right people in the right places.

At the 7th Seirei International Research Conference (SIRC2025), we have decided to operate in a ‘hybrid way’ so that researchers can interact with each other in multiple directions. We hope that each researcher will be able to exchange science in a way that suits or meets his or her needs.

Previous Seirei International Research Conferences have been held in Hamamatsu, Japan. For the next 8th conference, we are planning to move the event to Singapore. We expect that exposure to various cultures will not only enhance the quality of research, but also lead to a diversity of research perspectives.

We hope that the 7th Seirei International Research Conference (SIRC2025)will bring wisdom to many of you.

Sincerely,


Isamu Shibamoto, Ph.D.
Chair, Seirei International Research Conference 2025 (SIRC2025)
