Course description and aims

Scientific research at the top level of the world requires several key competencies: (1) extensive knowledge beyond his/her discipline, (2) transferring skills and creativity to utilize other fields’ research, (3) interdisciplinary ability and spirit to build his/her private network with diverse areas of specialists.
To acquire "liberal arts," students will have lectures by specialists in diverse fields, work in a small group, and give a presentation. This course aims to create the forum which facilitates knowledge exchange among students. Students will learn the trends of advanced and interdisciplinary research and how to collaborate with diverse fields of scholars and Doctoral candidates.
Foreign students can register this class (ability to speaking Japanese is not required).
Participants will communicate with others in different academic fields, international students, and Doctor candidates in English.
