On the 12th of October 2017 the Faculty of Economics and Sociology at University of Łódź hosted a Polish-Japanese Symposium on Urban Resilience and Sustainability Science. The Symposium was co-organised by the Faculty of Economics and Sociology and the Integrated Research System for Sustainability Science, a Research Centre at the University of Tokyo. The Symposium aimed to facilitate exchange of knowledge on the latest models of urban resilience in Eastern Asia and Central Europe and to lead to the creation of a Polish-Japanese, interdisciplinary research group, working in the area of urban resilience and sustainability science. It was also meant to contribute to the popularity of the concept of urban resilience in the practice of managing cities (actually poor implementation of the principles of urban resilience and sustainability science in the practice of urban governance remains a common problem in Poland and Japan). Finally, the Symposium was organized to highlight the area of sustainability science as something more than "sustainable development" - an area of research associated with extensive scientific justification for the concept of sustainable development and the search for mechanisms of its implementation. The Integrated Research System for Sustainability Science (IR3S) at the University of Tokyo is the world's leading center of research in sustainability science. Another particularly prominent research institution represented at the Symposium was Stockholm Resilience Centre from Stockholm University which is the leading institution in the area of resilience research and which has close research collaboration established with both the IR3S and the Faculty of Economics and Sociology at University of Łódź. Keynote presentation on the role of sustainability science for achieving Sustainable Development Goals was delivered by Professor Kazuhiko Takeuchi, Director of the IR3S, former Assistant Director General of United Nations, and former Senior Vice-Rector of the United Nations University.(fragment of text)
