Greeting

About the Conference

Dear Colleagues, Students, and Professionals,

It is with a sincere warm welcome that I extend an invitation to the 2nd Seirei International Research Conference and Symposium (SIRCS2020), which will be held at Seirei Christopher University in Hamamatsu, Japan. We and our partner universities and institutions bring together many scholars, scientists, students, researchers, and professionals from around the world. We will welcome colleagues from Australia, China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, and the United States. There are nearly two billion fellow human beings in these countries, all of whom we support to overcome significant hurdles in their daily life and with communication in order to make the fullness of life more attainable. While we speak many different languages and come from disparate cultures, we all share the desire to serve everyone equally. Amazingly, despite these differences, we all speak the same language of research, care, and service. SIRCS2020 is a unique conference that brings ideas to life in the service of those in need. I invite you to join your colleagues at SIRCS2020 to take a step towards accomplishing our shared goals.
