In this academic project, we will examine, research, and practice the opportunities for creativity in everyday life. While much research has been done on creativity in the arts, science, and product/service development, we believe that there is still room and potential for further exploration and research on small creative acts and creative activities in our daily lives and work. The purpose of this project is to promote research on such ‘creativity in everyday life.’
Participants will present their research and activities related to ‘creation in everyday life,’ and other participants will give feedback from their own perspectives and nurture them with love, and in some cases lead to collaboration and development. Through these activities, we will generate knowledge for the future “Creative Society” and develop people who have the ability to practice and research ‘creativity in everyday life.’
The pioneers of art have always been active in introducing scientific knowledge and discoveries. Similarly, the pioneers of science have always valued artistic intuition and insight. To begin with, the classification of art and science has changed over time, and many of the past activities that we in the present regard as art were not classified as art at the time. What can be said with certainty is that the creation of something new requires both intuition and insight based on particularity and verification based on data and experience.
In today's world, where technology has penetrated into every corner of our lives, where problems are intricately interconnected, and where society is changing at a breakneck pace, dialogue and collaboration between artists and scientists is becoming increasingly important.
Research institutions such as NASA, ESA, and CERN are now inviting artists-in-residence and employing artists on a full-time basis.
Based on this recognition, this project invites graduate students whose research themes include the interdisciplinary fields of art and science, science in art, and art in science, to participate in a common environment for research promotion, concept building, discussions, and workshops.
Unlike "building" as an existence and "construction" as an activity, "architecture" is an idea and a concept. If the consciousness of artificial work on the environment is the origin of architecture, it is rather natural that it is the most primitive intellectual creation act of mankind, and that it is a comprehensive and boundary existence that has corresponds with all areas. Currently, the research subjects and activity areas that architecture should deal with are dynamically expanding and merging due to various factors such as social changes, progress of computerization, and needs for coexistence with the natural environment. Today, the ability to cooperate with other fields in various aspects, from aspects such as urban development planning to devising construction technology, is necessary for a practical experience in the field of architecture, . In SFC, "architecture" is not fixed or dogmatic, but exists as a common item of creative and comprehensive intellectual activities across faculty members with various areas of interest. On top of that, in order to acquire the ability to carry out this on a realistic social system, the students will get review on their project of "architecture" that is being tackled from a different approach depending on each research theme. The purpose is to acquire the ability to expand the architectural domain and realize the fusion with new fields by exchanging it in and comprehensively verifying it from the viewpoint related to the practice of architecture.
Focusing on the aspects of perception and sensation in the black box of the human mind will provide important insights not only in daily life but also in performance under severe spatiotemporal constraints such as sports.

Over the past 20 years since the beginning of the popularization of the Internet, society has changed drastically into a mechanism based on Internet premise.
As the Internet further develops as an infrastructure that supports society, technological progress and innovation as infrastructure are indispensable for contributing to humanity. In this Academic Project, we will research and develop new Internet technologies that are needed as infrastructure to support humanity.
Over the more than 20 years since the beginning of the popularization
of the Internet, society has come to depend on it. The Internet is much more than just a digital technology, it has become one of the key elements of the infrastructure on which our society is built. Thus, it is important to consider operations and applications of the
Internet with respect to global relationships, law, ethics, and society. In this academic project, we'll study the social aspects of
the Internet and support the sound development of the Internet.
This academic project （AP） makes use of research methods proper to humanities in order to examine cultural issues that our societies face in the processes of globalization. Putting a focus on 1) language expression, 2) thoughts, 3) systems as research areas, we will analyze theoretically what these issues mean for a human subject and study practically how they can be resolved through the redesign of systems.
Among many challenges raised in contemporary societies, transcultural phenomenon will be an important research topic in this academic project. This phenomenon appears on an individual and a collective level, taking various forms. It can be observed in the relation between a person and his/her native language(s), or between immigrants and host societies for example. Problems raised in such a situation lead us to think seriously about how to design and construct a new relation between individuals and groups or communities.
To tackle this challenge, we specifically pay attention to research areas in which humanities approaches are appropriate, like literature as a form of language expression, or philosophy and thoughts. Methodologically, we investigate the meaning of the human experiences in contemporary societies and cultures from the standpoint, not of “explanation” (Erklären), but of “comprehension” (Verstehen).
It should be added that the social and cultural experiences mentioned above occur beyond the existing social or political frameworks because of globalization in process. This requires also rethinking of systems in order to handle the problems of language, nationality or immigration. These practical issues are also taken into account in this project.
We have to manage ecosystem services and natural capital for sustainable development of human beings, which has become an international consensus since the end of 20 century and was popularized by the Millennium Ecosystem Assessment (MA) in the early 2000s. Natural capital is the world's stock of natural resources. Natural capital assets provide people with a broad range of free goods and services, called ecosystem services, which underpin our economy and society and some of which even make human life possible. Green infrastructure has been widely paid attention as a key concept for wise use and management of ecosystem services. Green infrastructure occurs at all scales. It is most often associated with storm water management systems, which are smart and cost-effective. However, green infrastructure is a bigger concept and is closely associated with many other things.
This project aims to acquire data that spans various scales from cities, areas, shops and machinery, etc. and solve the problems existing there by returning the results of analysis and processing of the data to users, residents, business operators and local governments. We also aim to establish a technological, economic and social ecosystem including technologies and institutions necessary to develop those functions and properties. In particular, the objective of this project is to analyze the problem solving practically using IoT and AI, and to analyze it across various sciences. Technically, intellectual edge technology for operating AI in the terminal equipment, basic technology for distributing sensor data on a large scale, and processing of multiple data streams integrally to produce highly value-added information Data analysis technology and others are targeted. Economically, when assuming the distribution of information to be produced through the market, there are mainly research methods such as the method of technically creating such a market, asymmetry of information, the price determination mechanism of information, etc. . In accordance with these issues and themes, students and faculty members belonging to different master's research societies will share the research results of each other and advance the practice of research results in society.
In this academic project, we will study some legal aspects of administrative regulation, business management, criminal investigation, consumer society, and family life.

As networking has progressed, the concept of “Platform” has attracted attention as a keyword to solve problems of society. The platform is a base where reciprocal action of various entities will be revitalized and is also an object to be designed. In this study project, we will explore the concrete measure to design and construct an effective platform by integrating verification, practice, theory study, etc.
The field of study covers, regardless of profit or non-profit, business model, regional construction, revitalization of traditional industry community health, agriculture and information society. The mutual keywords are; network, information, sociality, and feasibility, innovation.
In this academic project, we will develop and evaluate a system that solves problems using software. The first year master's student reads and presents a paper related to his / her theme, and the second year master's student makes a presentation about his / her master's thesis.
The importance of psychological support to those who have vulnerability of personality and various trauma, who are suffering from mental and physical disorders is increasing more and more. It is demanded to develop human resources capable of psychological support with a multilateral perspective. Therefore, in this project, as a mental health expert, it aims to nurture the ability to perform activities such as observation, assessment and consultation necessary for clinical psychology.
In contemporary societies across the world, people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds encounter and share their living and working environment. What kind of language phenomenon arise in such multilinguistic and multicultural societies? What kind of linguistic and educational policies should be adopted in relation to this diversity? How do people use languages and what kind of problems do they encounter in multicultural settings? In this research project, we will ask and reflect upon questions such as these, seeking to understand linguistic phenomena; to examine, assess and propose linguistic, cultural, and educational policies; and to inquire into how to spread social awareness on problems and challenges regarding coexistence in multilinguistic and multicultural societies.
The research project will consist of (1) collaborative research projects on language, culture and society organized by the participating faculty members and graduate students, and (2) advisory sessions centered on the presentations of the students about the progress of their individual research.
This project aims at establishing research methodology to examine and discuss "experience in life". The issues are to develop academic disciplines and techniques to
