Chemistry, which is also called a “central science,” covers a wide variety of disciplines, and plays a unique role in the creation of new substances in addition to the observation of natural phenomena. We are conducting a wide range of research from fundamental research to industrial application.

The characteristics of this GCOE program are based on the extensive knowledge and technology of the existing four disciplines of civil engineering, architecture, urban planning and environmental engineering. By recognizing, integrating and refining these conventional technologies with sufficient consideration of cultural/social science expertise, a new integrated academic approach to sustainable urban regeneration can be realized. This GCOE program thus aims to educate a substantial number of highly advanced professionals in the distinct field of sustainable urban regeneration.
