On day 1, IIS Director General Teruo Fuji introduced IIS as one of the reseach institutes of the University of Tokyo.
On day 2, international joint activities that are now undergoing were introduced including LIMMS and SMMiL-E. Participants then visited the RCA-IIS Tokyo Design-Lab, which is a collaborative activity of the Royal College of Art and IIS, where they got to see several protopypes. "Aura" is a "bio-intelligent machine" that reads biochemical signals and process them. Another prototype called "Transparent Intent" on display interprets a person's intentions and responds accordingly.
