会長挨拶
この度、創域会会長の任を拝命いたしました、秋月信と申します。私は2012年度に環境システム学専攻の博士課程を修了し、現在は同専攻にて講師を務めております。2018年10月の創域会大会より2年間、創域会のさらなる発展に向けて努力して参る所存です。どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。本年度は、新領域創成科学研究科が創立から20周年、創域会が設立から10周年と、研究科、研究科同窓会「創域会」それぞれにとって節目の年に当たります。創域会では、本会の活動理念にありますように、修了生と在校生の交流促進、在校生の学生生活支援、研究科の更なる発展に資するべく、松浦宏行前会長の下、研究科と会員の皆様のご理解とご支援を賜りつつ、新たな試みを数多く進めてまいりました。この同窓会活動の活性化に向けた改革の手を休めることなく、10年後も持続可能な同窓会活動の枠組みを構築することが、節目の年に会長を任された私の責務と感じております。その中では、研究科修了生、在校生の約2割を占める留学生の会員に、積極的に同窓会活動に参画して頂く仕組みを考えることも、重要な課題の一つと捉えております。さて、先日の創域会設立10周年記念大会において改めて感じたことですが、創域会は(良い意味で)統一感のない異質な方々が集まっており、新たな出会いと発見の場であると感じます。これは学融合を目指して新領域創成科学研究科に多様な背景の学生が集まり、またそこで教育を受けた修了生がさらに様々なご経験を積まれている賜物と思います。私は超臨界水という特殊な場での化学反応の研究を行っておりますが、高温高圧のこの場においては、水と油という本来相交わらない二つの物質が混ざり合い、面白い現象を引き起こします。少し違う話ではありますが、創域会もここでなければない出会いがあり、面白い結果が生まれる場になると期待しております。とはいえ、創域会はまだ若い成長途中の同窓会であり、そのようなネットワークを発展させていくためには会員の皆様の積極的なご参加が欠かせません。是非今後とも変わらずのご支援ご鞭撻の程、どうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます。

Greetings by the President of Souiki-kai
I am Makoto Akizuki, appointed as the president of Souiki-kai at this moment. I finished my doctor’s course in the Department of Environment Systems in 2012, and now serve as a teacher of that same department. I will continue to work hard for further development of Souiki-kai after 2 years from the Souiki-kai meeting in October 2018. Best regards.
This year is a momentous year for both the graduate course and its reunion “Souiki-kai” due to the 20th anniversary of The Graduate School of Frontier Sciences and the 10th anniversary of Souiki-kai. Together with the support of members and the graduate course, we have promoted numerous inventive attempts by Hiroyuki Matsuura, the former president, to contribute to the promotion of interaction between alumni and current students, support for the school life of current students, and further development of the graduate course. It is my responsibility to keep reforming these reunions and to build a framework which can last for over 10 years, due to my appointment as president in this year of change. I believe it is an important task to think about a system which includes our international student members who account for 20% of alumni and current students actively participating in reunion activities.
Incidentally, what I felt at the 10th commemorative meeting of establishment of Souiki-kai is that the people who gathered at the meeting had no sense of homogeneity (in a good way), so I felt that this is a place of new encounters and discovery. I think that this is an aim of the president of the Graduate School of Frontier Sciences, where students who have various backgrounds gather for integrated studies and the alumni who received that education thereby gain various experiences. I do research on chemical reactions in the unique field of supercritical water. In this field of high temperature and high pressure, water and oil are mixed with each other to create interesting phenomenons. A little bit different from this story, there is also an encounter that occurs here at Souiki-kai, and I expect this place to create some interesting results.
Although, Souiki-kai is still a young and growing reunion, it is necessary for members to participate actively in order to develop new networks. Please continue to give us support and encouragement.
October 2018,
Makoto Akizuki
