Science and Technology Education Laboratory
Fostering human resources with entrepreneurial spirit and contributing to science, technology, and innovation.
We aim to foster human resources who can contribute to science and technology innovation through entrepreneurship education.Students are encouraged to think about how the results of research and development can be used in real society (social implementation). They work on research and development while engaging in joint projects and fieldwork.In addition, our laboratory connects research to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promotes cross-disciplinary studies. By flexibly learning from different fields, students aim to create new value.

FOR SOCIETY
We focus on curiosity-driven research while promoting socially beneficial research and development (implementation skills) and cross-disciplinary challenges that go beyond traditional academic boundaries. Research themes are pursued with an awareness of their connection to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), providing students with an environment to explore interdisciplinary challenges driven by their own curiosity and interests. Through collaborative research and fieldwork, students also develop the ability to bring research outcomes back to society.
