“Open Scientification” of Informatics
It is vital for students to learn about issues that face the natural world, humans, culture, and society, and to situate their research topic within these issues. This process is as important as enhancing students’ expertise through research activities. Acquiring these skills is essential for becoming global leaders and creating new technologies, social values, and knowledge. The Curriculum of Open Sciences aims to develop students’ academic expertise in their chosen discipline and accurately grasp its background and its social impact. In particular, students should learn to grapple with problems from an interdisciplinary lens, be conscious of social issues, be active internationally, explore practical approaches to addressing social and technological challenges, and propose solutions to these complex problems. The final goal of the curriculum is to develop talented individuals who can pierce through the boundaries of their specialization and impact the academic world, industry, and societies around the world.
