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.

‘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, we will try to do 'Experience Sketch'. (added on March 16th.)
This projects aims to use SFC trans-disciplinary knowledges to create a web of connected institutions with SFC as the Japan hub
Increased global interest in Japanese language and cultures has led to government support for cultural outreach programs with a focus on support for policy initiatives in the Asia-Africa corridor
The development of direct student-to-student connectivity and innovative materials has lagged. This project will utilize SFC resources to:
Develop student-centered connections with institutions supporting Japanese studies
(ISP-gombe DRC, St. Stephens College, India etc.)
Create web-based Japanese studies materials
and p-to-p diplomacy portals
Nature Positive is a term that has been gaining attention in preparation for the 15th Conference of the Parties (COP15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity to be held in Montreal, Canada, in December 2022, and is the concept of shifting the natural environment to a positive state, rather than trying to prevent the loss of nature. At COP10, held in Nagoya in 2010, the goal was set to reduce the rate of biodiversity loss significantly by 2020, but this goal was not achieved. The idea is to shift from a negative to a positive situation amid the critical situation of biodiversity on the planet. In addition, since climate change countermeasures and biodiversity conservation are two sides of the same global environmental issue, it is necessary to achieve both carbon neutrality and nature positivity. This academic project will discuss the realization of this nature positivity.

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.
The purpose of this course is to acquire specialized knowledge and research methods by discussing and reading literature and materials on contemporary Chinese politics and diplomacy.
In this academic project, we will study some legal aspects of administrative regulation, business management, criminal investigation, consumer society, and family life.
・For those of us who live in Japan, South and North Korea are our “Neighbors” . Information about our neighbours including those which are not academic or clear if reliable , a surplus of information is released everyday. In order to truly research Korean Studies, each one of us has to be the judge of the information we come accross. We must obtain information that is reliable and of high quality.
・Our goal as the SFC Korean Language Research Laboratory, is to learn the Korean language as a research tool. Using a high knowledge of the Korean Language as abase to research societal and humanaties catered to a regional study.
・Furthermore this AP we will study South and North Korea comprihensvely through the different view points of government, diplomacy ,economy, management, society, culture, language and history.
・Although we will use different types of sources of information such as written materials and interviews, field work is prioritized. In the future this information will be used to further the research with other research facilities and universities.
