Conference Theme
This year's conference theme is: Sustainable Society and Time Use Research. One of the big challenges for us in the 21st century is to achieve sustainable society. The United Nations set Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, but we have been faced with difficulties to make them progressed even more after the pandemic. In order to achieve it, we need to understand and solve various and composite fields of social issues. Interdisciplinary time use research can contribute to this important object from the perspective of time. IATUR 2023 conference in Tokyo welcomes all presenters and participants who are from various backgrounds and disciplines and share and discuss their research ideas under this theme.
