Program Outline
Excellent Leader Development for Super Smart Society by New Industry Creation and Diversity
In this program, based on agriculture and engineering, we define “New Industry Creation: creation of new fields through cutting-edge research” and fosters excellent doctoral human resources with “bold conceptualization for the future and steady, step-by-step steady implementation” who can carry this out.
In the first stage of the curriculum, we aim to improve students’ research conceptualization skills, to form teams that transcend gender, nationality, and specialty, to understand diversity in order to acquire leadership skills, to understand internationalism, and to improve English debate skills. In the second stage, we aim to launch projects and establish a joint research system through the “Joint Project of Agriculture and Engineering” support fund and other resources. In the third stage, students will develop an action plan to demonstrate the uniqueness of their own research in society.
In cooperation with partner institutions in Japan and abroad (11 domestic companies and 9 overseas partner institutions), we will produce highly skilled “knowledge professionals” with bigpicture perspective, originality, and high-level specialization, and who will bring new ideas and new developments to academia, industry, international organizations, and other fields.
