■ Background and Objective of this Webinar

While the utilization of simulations and computational science is advancing in the field of research and development, a disconnect arises between researchers who handle computations and those who conduct experiments. Typical issues include:

Challenges for Computational Researchers:
- Despite technically producing correct results, they are told "it's not usable on-site."
- Experimental teams rarely request computations in the first place.

Challenges for Experimental Researchers:
- They cannot derive useful insights from calculation results and end up relying on experiments.
- They cannot envision how calculations can solve their problems, leading to a lack of utilization.

This situation is not solely the problem of one party. It stems from structural gaps such as "the insufficient communication of how calculation results contribute to on-site decision-making" and "a lack of shared understanding of the objectives to be achieved."

For this webinar, we are honored to welcome Mr. Igarashi from JAEA, who has been engaged in connecting computation and experimentation for many years in research on complex phenomena such as corrosion.

How can "correct calculations" be transformed into "value useful for on-site decision-making"?

This session will delve into the nature of this "structure of unused calculations" where everyone is correct yet interactions fail, and practical ways to overcome it, based on real-world experiences.
