Welcome to the 2021 International Conference on Science & Technology ODA.

The 2021 International Conference on Science & Technology ODA and the 12th International Conference on Appropriate Technology will be held on Friday, December 3rd. We would like to invite you to the 2021 International Conference on Science & Technology ODA hosted by the Ministry of Science and ICT and organized by the Academic Society for Appropriate Technology.

The conference will be held under the theme of "Smart Science & Technology ODA with Corona." The global society has faced an enormous change due to the worldwide pandemic of COVID-19. Science & Technology ODA is an important field that can present appropriate solutions to the pending issues found across the Earth, including environment, healthcare, and energy.

We aim to set up a forum of exchange to examine the smartification of Science & Technology ODA for effective response to global crisis circumstances in the age of post/coexisting with corona, as well as various cases of appropriate technology, and discuss the new vision and roles of Science & Technology ODA together.

We look forward to joining you in contemplating technological innovation for sustainable human development and solutions for global issues.
