Therefore, industry-academia collaboration that goes beyond research fields is incorporated into the graduate education offered by the WISE Program. With the aim of cultivating doctoral students who can implement a “super-smart society,” the consortium will utilize distinctive fields such as agriculture, energy, AI/IoT, new materials, mobility, biotechnology, forestry, animal husbandry, and the environment as growth industries. Together with companies, we will nurture PhDs with a bird’s eye view, originality, and diversity.
