2020 Endowed Courses
Endowed Course on Leadership: “Fundamentals of Leadership”
In the 21st century, humanity has built a prosperous society through globalization and technological innovation. On the other hand, the problems spreading throughout society have become more complex, and there is a need for individuals who can solve them. In Japan, in particular, problems are piling up due to factors such as a declining birthrate and aging population, and a delayed response to globalization. In such a society, leaders are needed to guide people in solving problems that have no single correct answer.
This course aims to cultivate the human resources necessary for the future society by inviting guest lecturers who have been involved in leadership education around the world. Through lectures based on dialogue among students, participants will systematically learn about global leadership.

Cyber Civilization: Revolution and Evolution
Digital technology is having a wide-ranging impact on everything from people's lifestyles to economic systems and social governance structures. The magnitude of this impact has a breadth and depth that could be described as the rise of a new civilization. To cultivate human resources who can correctly guide society amidst these major changes, advanced education based on interdisciplinary and cutting-edge research is necessary, not only from a technical perspective but also including fields such as philosophy, law, economics, and medicine (Wellbeing). This course, based on the knowledge and networks accumulated at the Center for Cyber Civilization Research, aims to provide world-class, high-level classes. With Professor Farber, who has been invited as a Senior (Type A) fixed-term faculty member, serving as the main instructor, and with the participation of faculty from multiple graduate schools, students will learn about the nature of cyber civilization from multiple perspectives and create new knowledge.
