2018年7月19日到25日“东京大学-清华大学学术交流周”在东京大学举行。作为学术交流周的重要环节之一，情报学环学际・情报学府和生产技术研究所协同举办了“公共安全和媒体研讨会”。来自清华大学公共安全研究中心和新闻与传播学院的师生也同时参加了这一研讨会。两校师生就灾害管理问题展开了新闻传播学、工学和公共政策等多个理论视角的国际交流与讨论。

7月24日，“公共安全和媒体研讨会”在东大驹场研究校区举行。东京大学情报学环林香里教授出席并主持了这项研讨会。东京大学生产技术研究所目黑公郎教授以东日本大地震后新闻媒体的报道为例，发表了关于防灾应急管理和新闻媒体角色的演讲。来自清华大学新闻与传播学院的崔保国教授发表了关于中国地震报道和媒体社会责任的专题研究成果。来自清华大学公共安全研究中心的黄弘教授进行了关于中国城市防灾规划与策略的研究报告。之后，来自两校的10名博士生和研究者围绕着防灾教育、危机传播、城市公共交通安全对策等主题进行了针对性的研究发表。当日下午，研讨会参与者们前往朝日新闻社总部进行参观，听取了朝日新闻关于灾害报道、网络新闻报道和Media Lab运营的经验分享。

7月25日，研讨会参与者一行前往位于有明的东京临海广域防灾公园进行参观，学习并体验了首都直下地震防灾教育项目。之后，两校的研究者们前往东京燃气公司，参观并了解了东京燃气公司的天然气安全供给系统和防震减灾应急措施。
　
此次活动为两校的师生提供了多学科交流的机会，促进了中国和日本两国在灾害管理、传播和教育等学术领域的沟通和合作。

From July 19 to 25, the 2018 University of Tokyo-Tsinghua University Joint Symposium was held in the University of Tokyo. As an important component of this, the International Initiative in Information Studies/Graduate School of Interdisciplinary Information Studies (III/GSII) co-hosted a joint plenary session of the “Public safety and Media Workshop” with the Institute of Industrial Science on July 24 and 25. Faculty members and graduate students from the Institute of Public Safety Research and the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua university joined in this workshop and following activities, engaging in discussion with UTokyo researchers and students from related fields.

On July 24, the plenary session of the “Public Safety and Media Workshop” took place at Komaba Campus. This workshop featured presentations by UTokyo and Tsinghua researchers in the fields of public policy, disaster management, engineering, and risk communication. Professor Hayashi Kaori, the Chair of the ITASIA Program at UTokyo, hosted this activity. At the beginning of the plenary session, professor Kimiro Meguro, the Director of the International Center for Urban Safety Engineering at UTokyo, started with a lecture on “Comprehensive Disaster Management Systems and the Role of the Media – Lessons Learned from the 2011 Great East-Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster”. This was followed by two keynote speeches: “An Earthquake Reporting Perspective on Media Responsibility in Disaster Reporting” by professor Cui Baoguo from the School of Journalism and Communication of Tsinghua University, and “Thinking on Resilient City Construction in China under Rapid Urbanization” by professor Huang Hong from the Institute of Public Safety Research of Tsinghua University. After that, ten doctoral students and researchers from different academic disciplines were invited to give keynote speeches around the theme of “Media, Risk, and Safety”. In the afternoon, the workshop participants visited the Asahi press headquarters in Tokyo, where experience was shared on disaster reporting, online news coverage, and the Media Lab operation.

On July 25, the participants paid a visit to the Tokyo Rinkai Disaster Prevention Park in Ariake, Koto-ku. This park acts as a central base of operations for disaster prevention in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area in the event of a large-scale disaster, such as an earthquake centered below Tokyo. The participants received a brief introduction about this operation base and experienced earthquake simulation, deepening their understanding of disaster prevention and disaster education. After that, they toured the headquarters of Tokyo Gas, where they learned about the gas supply security system as well as disaster prevention and mitigation measures.

This academic exchange has strengthened collaborative ties in multi-disciplinary disaster management research and education between Japan and China. We are looking forward to further collaboration between the two universities and the two countries.
