The RESCEU group from the University of Tokyo organized a symposium this year, after a few years of interruption due to the COVID pandemic. It was a great pleasure to see faces that I have not seen for a while.
Two points stand out from this meeting. In addition to being an occasion to present research, it was also a moment to celebrate the retirement of Prof. Yasushi Suto, the former director of the RESCEU group. It is with his impulsion that the RESCEU group could grow to its current size, with research topics in many branches of astrophysics: Cosmology, gravitational waves, exoplanets, asteroseismology.
This was also the signature of this meeting: The research of the RESCEU group being diverse. It was a unique occasion to see people from diverse horizons in astrophysics sharing their research. Multi-disciplinary conferences like this one should happen more often, as they open the doors to revealing bridges between research topics, seemingly very distant but using similar tools, based on the same physics (obviously), and led by the same motivations: Understanding the universe.
