Interdisciplinary Education Program on Sustainability

This program aims to contribute to the realization of a better society of the future by adding sustainability-related knowledge to graduates who will be active in society as experts in their respective fields, and by producing such human resources in all parts of society. Through university-wide interdisciplinary education and active learning, we will cultivate problem-solving skills through teamwork with diverse experts and stakeholders, and collaborative creativity to lead social innovation, in addition to sustainability-related skills. In addition, through exchange programs and mutual recognition of credits with overseas partner universities related to sustainability as soon as the conditions are met, we will contribute to the development of human resources who can lead the promotion of international sustainable development , and to the development of human resources who are active globally in business and research with a strong background in sustainability.

SPRING GX

The project has been accepted as a program for the Support for Pioneering Research Initiated by Next Generation (SPRING) of the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST) from autumn, 2021 (hereafter “SPRING GX”). Six hundred doctoral students (including those in four-year programs) from all schools of UTokyo participate in this project. By investing all available assets of UTokyo, the SPRING GX aims to produce globally competent researchers who will contribute to the large-scale realization of a GX across all fields. More specifically, its aims are to:
・ Create an environment where students with expertise and high-level research ability can freely conduct challenging and emergent research to feed their curiosity.
・ Foster an awakened culture where GX encompasses the future vision of society and each student’s research is related to societal issues.
・ Develop transferable skills to fully demonstrate professional abilities in society.
