International Co-Learning Practice in Science and Technology

International students and Japanese students will work as a team to learn a series of processes, including setting issues, planning actions to solve the problems, and proposing solutions related to the SDGs' awareness. In other words, SDGs, which we aim for, are the global goals for building a sustainable society, including zero hunger, clean energy for all, responsibility to use and create, and disaster forecasting and response. In addition to improving communication and presentation skills, students will share their awareness of multifaceted issues, such as regional differences in each country and differences in perspectives on issues between fields and foster an attitude of critical reconsideration of existing concepts.

Collaborative Fieldwork in Science and Technology

The two faculties are located adjacent to each other at the Ito Campus of the university, with an on-campus farm and various demonstration and experimental facilities. Taking advantage of this, the two faculties will discuss and share their awareness of problems and solutions to the issues they have identified through experience in each other's fields in a workshop format.
