FF history and conference scope
FeedForth (FF) is an international conference organized by Nagoya University graduate students, created to explore opportunities for academic dialogue among researchers operating in diverse fields. It is the goal of FeedForth to address the following questions:
- What can we gain if we are aware of the work of our colleagues in different disciplines?
- What can we learn if we step back from the intricacies of our particular subject and see "the big picture"?
- How can our own work be improved by considering the commonality between researchers' problems, approaches, and solutions?
- How might new, rewarding academic relationships be forged?
Now in its second year, FF was created both as an opportunity for exchange, and specifically as an answer to problems that we perceived in other conferences involving their approach to the discussion among attendees and guests.
FF is an attempt to carefully create our image of an ideal conference. To that end, the FF conference operates under the following tenets:
- A lively environment for constructive criticism;
- Emphasis on discussion and audience interaction;
- Equality among all- the free sharing of ideas among all participants in an equal forum.
