A joint workshop on duality in space was held late last month by Keio University and the RAND Corporation at Keio’s Mita Campus.

RAND, which is based in the United States, is a global policy think tank and research institution. This workshop represents the first steps in joint research efforts with Keio following an initial visit by CEO Jason Matheny in 2024.
