The Research Institute of Human and Societal Augmentation (RIHSA) at AIST aims to create “a future in which people and society enhance each other.” Through research on human understanding, human augmentation, and co-creation, RIHSA seeks to improve quality of life and work, foster new services and industries, and contribute to a sustainable society.
Under the theme “Autumn of Harvest, Autumn of Well-Being,” RIHSArch2026 explores well-being from three perspectives: Health, Sensibility, and Co-Creation. The symposium will highlight research and initiatives related to healthy living, enriching life through music, arts, and culture, and creating new value through collaboration among industry, academia, local governments, and communities.
The program will feature invited speakers and RIHSA researchers, as well as interactive sessions showcasing research outcomes, collaborative projects, and societal initiatives.
To live healthily, to live richly, and to live together. We hope RIHSArch2026 will create opportunities for new encounters, dialogue, and collaboration, contributing to a better future for people and society.
