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.
In addition to the historical approach to Japanese studies, the project aims to conduct interdisciplinary research on Japan with a social scientific perspective and international comparisons. The research will cover the period from the Meiji Restoration to the present day, and will be conducted jointly mainly from the perspectives of political science and sociology.
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 purpose of this program is to provide a forum for graduate students studying art and science to interact with each other, and through such interaction, to understand the diversity of research and to gain a bird's eye view of their own research.
This course is organized in collaboration with xSDG laboratory and its consortium, designed to understand and promote private business and local actions on the SDGs. Students are expected to produce an actionable proposal to initiate transfromations towards sustainability.

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.

Along with sensors and actuators, computers are becoming embedded in the environment. As a result, artificial objects are becoming identical to natural objects, and computers start to control the real world. In recent years, rapid progress in computer science has been driven by theory and data. We are exploring (1) new theories based on neuroscience and natural computation, and (2) ultra-large-scale data processing techniques to make these advances.
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.

‘Embodiment Design’ Program
In our highly information-oriented and established world we are forced to live in an environment where time, space and human activities are all over scale in our daily lives. In this current society where people depend on extremely complicated systems which are beyond our control, we face many problems which stem from this situation.
Regarding the level of anonymity the current internet society allows, and lack of awareness of murders without experience of death in people’s lives and so on, it has been long since we started to discuss the necessity of reestablishing actual relationships between ‘ourself’ and the environment around us.
In order to understand the tendency of putting responsibility to others in this contemporary society, and respond to the problem directly, it is necessary to understand the consciousness of the people who the problems stem from. It is necessary to comprehend your body and soul well, to know your capacity with which you can do or cannot do, to establish your own way to solve problems, and to create human relationships matching your lifestyle.
To aim to establish a society where people understand themselves well and understand each other, it is necessary to reconfirm how people relate to their environment by redefining their ‘body’ in any field. To understand one's own body and mind well, to know the limits of one's ability to do what one can or cannot do by oneself, to acquire one's own solutions, and to build human relationships that are suited to one's own stature. In this way, in order to build a society as a rich human group made up of people who understand themselves, it is necessary to go back to the human 'body' and re-examine the relationship between humans and the environment that surrounds them in all fields. We propose an approach to this end in the form of embodied design.
In this semester what we will focus on will be announced at the first class.

In this semester we will focus on 'Playing Noh' following the theme of the last semester.
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.

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.
