Corporate Finance and ESG
Corporate Finance and ESG.
To manage a company, it is necessary to understand overall management in a way that crosses over into various areas such as financial strategy, accounting, marketing, product development, organization management, human capital management, and business strategy. In this seminar, students will acquire the knowledge necessary for corporate management through (1) readings, (2) case studies, and (3) actual project practice. The area of expertise of the supervising professor is corporate finance, so the course will delve somewhat deeper into those areas.
Seminar on International Economy and Finance
The seminar will focus on various economic issues. It consists of two parts. The first half will be based on reading short articles on various economics-related issues and students' presentation and discussions. The topics depends on the availability of latest articles. The past seminars covered digital assets, CBDC, climate change, carbon pricing, digital tax, COVID-19 pandemic, debt problems in emerging market economies, poverty and inequality, China's economy, monetary policy, financial and capital markets, and DX and digitization etc. Also, the seminar may have a debate on the hot global issues (for example, President Biden's economic policies were discussed in 2021).

SFC Kotan: Learning the Aynu Language and Aynu Oral Literature
Although Aynu peoples are officially recognised as indigenous peoples of Japan, there are still few academic spaces where students can research on the Aynu language and culture. In this seminar, we learn the Aynu language, realise field visits to Hokkaido, and learn from (and engage in) the efforts to revitalise the language, and delve in to the world of Aynu culture -- centered on kamuy-human relationships -- through their oral narratives. All students participating in this research seminar will learn the language, but their personal research projects can span other topics in humanities and social sciences. We welcome students interested in fieldwork-based social science and humanities, language revitalisation, and literary studies.

This is a research based idea proposal project for the new station area of JR Muraoka-Shineki station of the JR line.
Meteorology
There are many islands in Japan, and due to the fact that they are surrounded by the sea, they are known to have their own localized winds. In addition, the islands in the Sea of Japan, in particular, are closer to the continent than Honshu, etc., so it is known that material transport from the continent is remarkable. Among them, Okinoshima Island, which is located off the coast of Shimane Prefecture, is close to the continent and is in the downstream area of the westerly wind characterized by the jet stream, so pollutants etc. measuring data. Therefore, in this special project, various variables such as wind, air pollutants, and sea salt particles will be measured on Okinoshima Island, which is extremely important for observation, throughout the day. By comparing the data, we will clarify points such as what differences exist between the island and Honshu, how long it takes to transport materials, and how much diffusion they are transported. Specifically, the above questions will be clarified by analyzing the data obtained by observation and the measurement data of the Japan Meteorological Agency at the same time.
Transaction Processing
In this special project, we will read Transactional Information Systems: Theory, Algorithms, and the Practice of Concurrency Control and Recovery (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems) and other important transactional papers.

The theme of the NeuroMusicLab is to unravel the "unknown" of music and approach its essence scientifically (neuroscientifically). x-MusicLab theme is to explore the true value and potential of music and create the next unknown music (= x-Music), which has not yet had a firm name.
The theme of this project is "x-Neuro-Music". The NeuroMusic is the abbreviation of Neurosciences and Music, which research the unknown of music from the perspective of information process of music with body and the brain. The x-Music means next, extreme, experimental expression through music while crossing diverse research fields. By integrating both NeuroMusic and x-Music explorations, we will try creating the x-Neuro-Music in this project.

This special research project is meant to host an exhibition for four days at Kamakura Gallery located on Kamakura mountain. Students will learn the actual procedures of hosting an exhibition by designing, running, hosting a reception, and getting feedback from visitors.
Recent exhibitions in contemporary art are not limited to enjoying still drawings from the early 20th century. Artists can use multiple media that can dynamically change in time and space. In addition, the change in the exhibition environment can also be included, so that visitors can be a part of the artwork to finalize the experience.
Considering such diverse changes in contemporary art, one clue to consider in the
exhibition is to include the bodily experience of humans. From this standpoint, students
are going to address the question of what the exhibition can provide bodily experience to exhibition visitors. Students will curate exhibition materials, design the space of the exhibition, and execute the exhibition itself including hosting a reception during the period of the exhibition.

The Suzukan Seminar has been very successful in fostering many venture entrepreneurs, social entrepreneurs, and leaders of new business startups in large organizations under the theme of social production in the information society.
With the establishment of the Learning and Education Laboratory for the Society 5.0 Era (Representative: Hiroshi Suzuki) at the SFC Research Institute in August 2019, in addition to the previous theme of "Fostering Social Producers who Graduate from Modernity and Create a New World," we will be conducting research on the new theme of "Co-education to Foster People who Create a New World" and In addition to the previous theme of "fostering social producers who will graduate from modernity and create a new world," we have added a new theme of "co-education to nurture people who will create a new world" to our research and project objectives.
In the spring of 2020, we began supporting high school students' inquiry-based learning in Hagi City, Yamaguchi Prefecture. Specifically, in cooperation with the city's Board of Education and school teachers, we are running inquiry learning courses for high school students in Hagi. In order to nurture the "creative power" of students, who are the leaders of the future, we are in the process of creating a model case for creating new learning. We are also planning to collaborate with the Niseko City Board of Education in Hokkaido.

Modeling and simulation of biological systems
One of the most important characteristics of life is that it is active and continues to be active. By acting, living systems interact with the environment and maintain their own existence in the environment. In this project, we will use computer simulations to explore the dynamic behavior of living systems and to understand their operating principles.
We read one of the following books.
Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction by Kevin Patrick Murphy. MIT Press, February 2022.
Computer Systems: A Programmer's Perspective, 3/E (CS:APP3e) by Randal E. Bryant and David R. O'Hallaron.
