Our life depends on natural, social and economic environment. To ensure these qualities for future generations, we must drive profound changes in social and spatial structures that help us to solve global problems. These efforts include minimizing damage from natural disasters, accommodating the effects of lower birthrates and aging populations, mitigating environmental and energy concerns, and improving the maintenance and support of infrastructure systems.

This program is designed to cultivate talented and globally-minded people to create future industries, present a blueprint for a human-friendly social environment as well as help develop and integrate advanced research and element technologies to realize such a vision.

For “fundamental research” and “element technology development,” and the creation of a future social environment, it is necessary to integrally apply excellent research results to an actual social environment or what we call “social implementation.” Fundamental research, component technology development and social implementation, including policy and market research, will be carried out as a whole in an integrated manner.
