The purpose of the international research and education center will be to promote advancement of and maintain collaboration among the proposed projects, and to support the training of highly talented leaders in future technologies. The center will occupy research space on and around the university's Hongo campus, and will be staffed by administrative personnel and appointed faculty members in addition to the program executive members. The center will also employ doctoral students as research assistants, together with post-doctoral research fellows. In addition to participating in their respective research projects, faculty members will carry out routine managerial and administrative duties, and will be responsible for the annual review, updating, and implementation of advanced educational curricula. The program will sponsor exchanges of researchers with research institutes abroad, with assistance from the Offices of International Cooperation and Exchange, and of Global Ware Project of the School of Engineering. We will also foster cooperation with other 21st century COE program activities on the campus, in order to create interdisciplinary knowledge and technology by fusing diverse disciplines. |
