Pioneering the Future: TRC’s Mission
Advancing Typhoon Research for a Safe and Sustainable Future.
The Typhoon Science and Technology Research Center (TRC) was established in October 2021 as the first typhoon-related research institute in Japanese universities. The TRC has two primary objectives: to contribute to the formation of a safe, sustainable, and vibrant society by reducing the risk of typhoon disasters, and to aid in the achievement of a carbon-free society through the utilization of typhoon energy. The TRC is a research hub committed to pioneering new academic disciplines related to typhoons and accelerating the social implementation of new related technologies.
In 2021, the Director of the TRC, Professor Hironori Fudeyasu, was selected as the Project Manager for one of the core research projects of Goal 8 in the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST)’s Moonshot Research & Development Program. This project, entitled “Typhoon Control Research Aiming for a Safe and Prosperous Society,” is a component of Moonshot Goal 8: “Controlling and Modifying the Weather: Realization of a society safe from the threat of extreme winds and rains by controlling and modifying the weather by 2050.”
To further promote these activities in line with this project, the TRC has decided to organize a new annual international workshop, the IWTRC, starting in 2023.

Dear Colleagues and Friends,
I am Hironori Fudeyasu, Director of the Typhoon Science and Technology Research Center (TRC) at the Institute for Multidisciplinary Sciences, Yokohama National University.
It is with great pleasure that I invite you to the 3rd International Workshop on Typhoon Science and Technology Research (IWTRC). Thanks to your warm support, our first and second workshops each welcomed over 140 participants and were met with tremendous enthusiasm. I am sincerely grateful to all who made these events a success.
For this third edition, we are taking a significant step forward. In a move to enhance visibility and encourage broader participation, we will be hosting the event at a venue near Yokohama’s iconic waterfront, moving beyond the university campus for the first time. Additionally, on the third day of the workshop, we will hold a public symposium open to both the scientific community and the general public.
We warmly encourage both returning participants and new members to join us for this exciting event. Let us come together once again to share insights, inspire innovation, and advance the frontiers of typhoon science.
Thank you for your continued support. I look forward to welcoming many of you at the workshop.
Warm regards,
Hironori Fudeyasu
Director, Typhoon Science and Technology Research Center
