Gerontology is picked up in the aging society in the world. In Japan, for example, the generation balance will change in a few years. A variety of technology, on the other hand, will help the ageing society (Gerontechnology). In “Biomedical Engineering”, the human being is analyzed by the methodology of engineering, and the engineered design is applied to the human being. Between the engineered system and the biological system, the interface has been studied and the collaborative system has been designed. You can find out the same base of philosophy between “Biomedical Engineering” and “Gerontechnology”. The effectiveness of the cross cultural seminar on multidisciplinary learning has been discussed in relation to “Biomedical Engineering” and “Gerontechnology”. Several multidisciplinary learning programs have been practiced as cross-cultural seminars of students: in Japan, in Thailand, and in USA. They have learned how to communicate with persons, who have a variety of studying backgrounds and a variety of cultural backgrounds. The training awakes students to several points: thinking from different points of view, and using various communication tools. The process extends the communication skill, inspires cross-cultural understandings, and compensate the gap between generations.
