Title:Developing World-Class Talent for Tomorrow

Panel Discussion
October 25, 2015 (Sun)  15:30~17:00(Hall)
The panel discussion will focus on graduate school enhancement and reform amid on-going and transformational changes in commerce and society. As such, the focus will consider future academic demands and address the heightened expectations for innovation, so that graduates will be empowered to contribute to future development, and enhance the nation’s sustainable growth in a global context. The session will be interactive with ideas being exchanged with the floor as to how the Program can best be leveraged to develop globally competitive Ph.D. talent, and within a new and dynamic educational system.

Student Forum
This session focuses on the “Outcomes of the Program”; that is to say what kind of material competencies have the students achieved in the educational program. Since the Program is evolving, these results will fuel a new and even more effective educational program that the students will participate in with high motivation to learn the competencies needed for Ph.D.’s. While the Student Forum primarily aims to share information and encourage networking among students, it will naturally facilitate broader societal understanding through Public Relations for the Program.

October 24th (Saturday) 13:00~16:45 Conference Center(5F)
Student reports and selection of next day working members

The participants are divided into the five rooms related to the five respective themes. The young faculty and adjunct members are also evenly distributed into the five rooms.

<Themes>
(1) Leadership education(in Japanese)
(2) Interdisciplinary education (in English)
(3) Globalization/internationalization (in English)
(4) Partnership with public and private sectors (in Japanese)
(5) Project works addressing social problems (in Japanese)

October 25th (Sunday)  13:15~15:30 Event Hall(1F)

Program Workshop
The purpose of the workshop is to improve the quality of the program by sharing best practices and discussing the challenges faced by individual programs. We expect that the deliberations in this session that will involve sharing with other departments and Universities will serve to promote and accelerate the reform of graduate-level education. In this workshop, the representatives of each program type first present an overview of their activities, which is followed by the discussion of the nature of education required to develop student talents. Next, program activities associated with a variety of topics concerning education and cooperation with society are presented. The workshop will also feature the discussion of the broader implications of these issues for graduate school reform.
