Abstract

For co-developing the societies, Kyushu University has carried on KOINE meetings, where multidisciplinary experts from universities including students, local governments and industries discuss and develop the common understandings and action plans to solve social and industrial problems. Although KOINE is the abbreviation of kyudai global open innovation network engine, it is also an English word representing a common language originated from ancient Greek. In this session, we show the collaborations for developing the AI system on covid-19 infection in order to prevent the infection from rapidly spreading together with students studying entrepreneurship education.
