Dear TRIZ Colleagues,

From : Toru Nakagawa, Professor Emeritus, Osaka Gakuin University 

"TRIZ Home Page in Japan" has been updated today (Oct. 17) in English and in Japanese pages.

[1] Keynote: TRIZ for Science:  

"Evolution of Scientific Instruments & Methodology of Inventiveness in Applications to Science"

Andrei Seryi (Univ. of Oxford), Keynote presented at ETRIA TFC, Oct. 5, 2017, Finland.

[1] Keynote: TRIZ for Science:

   Evolution of Scientific Instruments & Methodology of Inventiveness in Applications to Science

Andrei A. Seryi (Director, John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science, University of Oxford, UK),
Keynote Lecture presented at ETRIA TRIZ Future Conference (TFC 2017), on Oct. 5, 2017 at Lappeenranta, Finland;
Introduction and Japanese translation by Toru Nakagawa

This impressive Keynote Lecture was given by Professor Andrei Seryi at ETRIA TFC2017 held two weeks ago in Lappeenranta, Finland.

Under his kind permission, I am posting his presentation slides (110 pages in PDF ) here in HTML with (new) section headers and GIF images for easier overall understanding.

Professor Andrei Seryi graduated Novosibirsk State University (NSU) Physics Department in 1986 and worked in Russia, France, USA (Fermi lab and Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (1999-2010)) in the fields of high-energy physics, and since 2010 he is Director of John Adams Institute for Accelerator Science , the University of Oxford, in UK.
As a Director he has become to consider more seriously about the usefulness of high-energy physics and to teach creativity methods in scientific research.
So he met TRIZ again (since his childhood) and found its depth.

The present Keynote contains detailed figures of scientific instruments for cutting-edge physics, and you may feel difficult to understand the background physics, so do I.
However, the author shows the essential points of discussion clearly and plainly for people having interest in science in general. E.g., be careful (and needs methodology) in the prediction of future, evaluate different research directions not only for fundamental knowledge but also for usefulness and the costs.

Author's insights of using TRIZ are deep:
In explaining Inventive Principle 35 'Parameter change', he demonstrates (in place of simple parameters volume V and surface area S) the ratio V/S inspires us much more while changing the parameter value.
He also mentions that Cloud chamber and Bubble chamber, both for detecting high-energy particles, are an example of TRIZ concept of 'System and Anti-system' and that if scientists were familiar with the concept, Bubble chamber could have been invented much earlier.
'Transition to super-system' is also an important TRIZ concept in understanding the evolution of systems. New methods/tools are implemented as a system by assembling many components, and then they become useful only when working as a part of larger systems (i.e., super-system) for social, business, technical, etc. purposes.

"TRIZ can be very useful for science, as an inspiration, as a very efficient toolbox, as a way to connect different disciplines, as a new way to see the world"
This is the conclusion by Professor Seryi. It is a testimonial by a leading scientist who has achieved a lot in physics and mastered TRIZ. We wish TRIZ be understood widely and used in practice in the field of science, by many researchers and engineers.

---- TRIZ can support science well in the aspect 'scientific revolutions are tool-driven', as shown in this keynote. TRIZ can support science also in the aspect 'scientific revolutions are concept-driven'?
This is an open question. Please refer a discussion page (Aug. 2016) "Do We Have Any Methodology of Creative Research in Academia ? Can CrePS (or the Six-box Scheme) Contribute to It ?"

(Note: ETRIA is working for publishing the TFC2017 papers in a book/journal from some publisher, thus stopping the authors to post their papers/slides at any Web site. Keynote lectures, however, are not included in the publication plan and hence are allowed for posting at a Web site by the author's decision.)

Best wishes,

Toru

Dear TRIZ Leaders/ Colleagues,

From : Toru Nakagawa,

Professor Emeritus, Osaka Gakuin University 

"TRIZ Home Page in Japan" was updated on Dec. 17 and Dec. 27 in English and in Japanese pages.

[1]  Letters from Readers (Nov. - Dec., 2017) / Initializing 'World TRIZ Sites Project (WTSP)

[2]  Index Page of World TRIZ Sites Project (WTSP) is Open

                     (Toru Nakagawa, Dec. 27, 2017)

[1] TRIZ Forum: Letters from Readers (Nov. - Dec., 2017) / Initializing 'World TRIZ Sites Project (WTSP)
        Toru Nakagawa + 22 TRIZ Leaders/Colleagues in the world,  Dec. 17, 2017

This page 'Letters from Readers' is for recording various communications between readers in the world and the Editor.

However, the present page covering Nov.- Dec. 2017 is very unique and devoted for the records of communications mostly issued by Toru Nakagawa for proposing 'World TRIZ Sites Project' and responses to them by many TRIZ Leaders in the world.

Here you can see why and how Nakagawa wanted and initiated the Project and how so many people in various countries responded positively to support and join the Project.

Such a consensus of necessity of 'World TRIZ Sites Project' certainly becomes our motivation to 'Build a (big) page of TRIZ Sites in the World' and further for us, TRIZ community in the world, to work Together! Connected !!

[2]  WTSP Project: Index Page of World TRIZ Sites Project (WTSP) is Open for Up-to-date Basic Information and Activity News    (Toru Nakagawa, Dec. 27, 2017)
