This page introduces programs that have been implemented by the Hitachi Global Foundation and have now concluded.
The COVID-19 pandemic caused severe human, economic, and social impacts across the globe. At the same time, the responses to the crisis revealed numerous vulnerabilities and challenges in various fields, including politics, economics, legal systems, science and technology, and international relations.
To address these issues through academic research, the Hitachi Global Foundation established the Hitachi Fund Support for Research Related to Infectious Diseases in 2021 with contributions from Hitachi, Ltd., as well as its executives, employees, and group company executives.
Through this fund, we supported research aimed at investigating and analyzing the problems that emerged during the COVID-19 crisis based on evidence and sharing the findings internationally. From December 2021, five research projects were carried out over a three-year period, and all have now been completed. We are pleased to announce the publication of the final research report summarizing these research outcomes.
This report summarizes the outcomes of five research projects supported by the fund. Please find details below.
