The Forum for Graduate School Educational Reform 2025 was held on December 12 and 13, 2025, at the TKP Tokyo Bay Makuhari Hall.
This annual forum brings together graduate students enrolled in the WISE Programs for Doctoral Education and Leading Graduate School Programs from across Japan, as well as faculty members and stakeholders from academia, industry, and government.
Participants engage in discussions on doctoral education and career development while sharing achievements and innovative initiatives.

Under the main theme, “Unlocking the Potential of Doctorates, Shaping the Future of Society,” the forum featured panel discussions and group presentations by students.
Approximately 100 participating students were divided in advance into 20 groups.
Each group discussed the overarching topic, “Addressing Social Challenges through the Integration of Specialized Knowledge,” developed a presentation title, and prepared their presentations accordingly.

From our TUAT WISE Program, Ms. NOGUCHI Ayako (a third-year student in the integrated doctoral program, Department of Food and Energy Systems Science, Graduate School of Applied Biological Systems Science at TUAT, Professor Masuda Kohji Lab.) participated in the forum and received an Encouragement Award as a member of her group.

Congratulations Noguchi san!
