Greetings

President of Kanazawa University

YAMAZAKI, Koetsu

Challenging the knowledge-intensive society

What do you want to learn for what purpose?

We are shifting from an “industrial-centered society,” where mass production andstandardized products consumption support its growth, to a “knowledge-intensive society,”
where its growth is supported by the creation of new value, high-value-added products andservices based on advanced information and knowledge. Furthermore, the COVID-19 pandemic
accelerated the development and spread of ICT technologies such as IoT, which connects allthings via the Internet, big data obtained from IoT, and artificial intelligence (AI), andtechnological innovation is surging at an unprecedented pace in every aspect of the society.

School of Entrepreneurial and Innovation Studies, in the College of Transdisciplinary
Sciences for Innovation was established in April 2021, and now have its first batch of
students. Some people may associate the name College of Transdisciplinary Sciences forInnovation with a broad range of liberal arts and science subjects. At our university, welearn a wide range of knowledge and technology in various fields such as humanities,
social sciences and natural sciences. However, what really matters is not acquiringknowledge, but what are you going to learn to serve a specific purpose.

Now, when the global environment is undergoing major change, Kanazawa University iscommitted to "Pioneering the era of the 21st Century and contributing to world peace andthe sustainable development of humankind" as stated in the charter. As a concrete action
to achieve this, it established a new transdisciplinary field of study, “College ofTransdisciplinary Sciences for Innovation” in April 2021, and opened the “School of
Entrepreneurial and Innovation Studies” as its first school. Another new school, “School ofTourism Sciences and Design,” will be established in April 2022.

It is becoming increasingly necessary to have the ability to identify and respond to thechallenges that will arise in society in the future. On the other hand, in order to deal
with future challenges that are becoming more complex and diverse, conventional
education is not enough. It is necessary to create new value by combining existing
academic fields and/or achievements. Therefore, the students learn what is necessary tosolve their issues, whether it be humanities or science, through a so-called “back-castinglearning,” and they will work on solving problems by fusing different fields.

With the increasing number of complex social issues along with globalization, the role ofa university becomes not only to provide advanced and specialized knowledge but also alearning environment that fosters the ability to see the essence of social issues and thewillingness and ability to solve problem through collaboration with people with diverse
backgrounds. For our country to overcome its challenges, namely, restore its international
competitiveness and revitalize regional economies, it is essential to have talented humanresources who will pioneer for the future and transform the world with their creativity andbreakthroughs.

This school aims to cultivate human resources who lead social transformation andinnovation in various fields with a pioneering spirit. We have established a curriculum toachieve these objectives. There are also mandatory subjects such as entrepreneur
related subjects, practical exercises and international internships (or study abroad).
Through these courses, by providing opportunities to encounter diverse people andvalues, we will nurture the ability to actively communicate in the international
community, and the ability to independently take on challenges.

College of Transdisciplinary Sciences for Innovation aims to identify and solve problems
in the present and future, cultivating core leaders who will lead innovation through“transdisciplinary learning and collaboration” and “fostering entrepreneurship.” The
School of Entrepreneurial and Innovation Studies aims to produce human resources who
think outside of the box, transform society, and create a new future. The School ofTourism Sciences and Design aims to cultivate human resources who create a new “value
design society” that is different from the conventional tourism. As “a research university
dedicated to education, while opening up its doors to both local and global society,” ourmission will be fulfilled by sending human resources that would bring a breath of fresh air
to the local communities and the world.

Transdisciplinary Studies for Future Innovation

OJIMA, Kyoko

Undergraduate programs

College of Transdisciplinary Sciences for Innovation was established in April, 2021
as the fourth college of Kanazawa University. Even though it is the 4th college, it ismentioned first in our school regulations, which shows President's strong
enthusiasm and the University’s high expectations toward this college.

College of Transdisciplinary Sciencesfor Innovation

An expanding new transdisciplinary field of study.

School of Entrepreneurial and Innovation Studies[Established 2021]
School of Tourism Sciences and Design

The purpose of this college is to create new innovations, beyond the borders ofconventional academic fields, transforming the current stagnant Japanese society.
At the same time, it aims to foster innovative human resources capable ofdemonstrating core leadership in the knowledge-based society, who hope tocontribute to the region and the world by acquiring specialized knowledge intransdisciplinary fields, and promote a model for finding and solving challenges.

［Established 2022］

Fostering human resources who will lead innovation bylearning various fields and systems in antransdisciplinary and integrated manner

The keywords to this college are: transdisciplinary; innovation; entrepreneur;design thinking; and diversity.

■ The symbol color for the college is “Chigusa-iro,”or lightgreenish-blue.

●“Chigusa” stands for “various kinds” and “diversity.”‌●This color was used as the base color of the layered dyeing technique,namely the color of "foundation".

Recently, some national universities have established new departments aiming toprovide interdisciplinary education. Certainly, there is a criticism thatinterdisciplinary education is a "theory on paper" and that it is just a collection ofresearchers from various fields. This criticism, however, does not come from“design thinking,” which is based on flexible thinking or creative mindset. We havecarefully selected a wide variety of teachers from inside and outside the university
who are willing to take on challenges in different fields, and gathered promisingpeople to create a faculty organization. We have started entrepreneurship program
as a means of innovation.

There was a time when the phrase “Japan as Number One” was commonly used.
However, Japan's international status has declined significantly in the last 20 years,
and it has been pointed out that in a world the COVID-19 pandemic, the Japanese
economy has become increasingly impoverished, and Japan slipped down the
rankings of advanced countries. This is because innovation has stagnated since thelate 1990s, and we have been unable to produce superior products and services. We
make efforts to develop education and research for a breakthrough.

Student Interview[ Students admitted in April 2021]

Questions:❶ What made you choose the School of Entrepreneurial and Innovation Studies?

To make my dream come true

NAKADA, Takamizu[From Ishikawa][From Tokyo]❷ What is your future dream?

Challenge the future world
would be interesting. After reading the introduction,
I immediately thought, "This is it!" It's been only ashort time since I entered the school, but I'm glad I
did.
❷ My dream for the future has not been decided
yet. My dream (tentative) is to become a person
who can realize what I want to do. I believe that
this school helps me realize my dream, because
you can study a wide range of fields. When you dofind a dream, it stays within the feasible range. I
recommend this school for those who haven't
found their dream yet.

OYAGI, Kazuki[From Kyoto]❶ The reason I chose the School of Entrepreneurial
and Innovation Studies was because of its
educational policy emphasizing practicality.
Conventional systems such as lifetime employment
are no longer sustainable. What such a societyneeds is the power to think and act on your own.
The curriculum of the school is made in the way thatyou set up your own theme, learn whatever isnecessary, regardless of its disciplinary fields, andtry them out. In that sense, I strongly believe that
this curriculum is what is called for in the present
age. The future is in our hands. You have all thetools and environments here. I strongly recommend
the School for the Future of Innovation of theCollege of Transdisciplinary Sciences for Innovation,
for those who want to create a new era.
❷ I traveled abroad for the first time when I was ahigh school student and had a culture shock. I
wanted to know more about the unknown world, andI began to think that leaving the unknown alone
would be a great loss in my life. During my university
years, I would like to interact with various people invarious places, and in the future, challenge myself
to the unknown where humankind has yet to tread.

Make everyone in the world smile

Specializing in both business and international exchange❶ Even in my senior year of high school, I did nothave a clear future vision, and it was difficult todecide which department to apply for. Also, when I
had doubts about having to choose a university
major as a high school student, I heard about the
School of Entrepreneurial and Innovation Studies.
I looked it up, and I learned that it was antransdisciplinary department where students learn
regardless of their academic fields: humanities orscience. Before then, I had thought that I could
learn only one subject at university, which would
almost determine my future profession. The key❶ As society is undergoing major changes, suchas the rise of AI and the spread of COVID-19, I
chose the School of Entrepreneurial andInnovation Studies, which aims to foster humanresources who will lead social change, as I believe
it could be risky to pursue a specialized course in
a conventional academic department. At thisschool, you can let your interest guide your courseof learning, which is another good point. I hopethat the number of people with the sameaspirations as ours will increase and expand my
network over the years.

factor for my choosing this school was its
environment where I can learn various things.
❷ My dream for the future is to make people
around the world smile and be happy, which
requires an immense amount of effort, clear
planning, execution, and partners who share the
dream. I believe that it helps me pursue this big
dream to be in the School of Entrepreneurial andInnovation Studies. Here, you are encouraged topursue and realize your dream, even if it seems
absurd to others. I want to make this dream cometrue.

FUJISAWA, Shiho[From Ishikawa]

IMAKADO, Nagumi❶ I was browsing Kanazawa University’s website
in the early winter of my senior year of high school,
thinking about which university I should enter. I
saw the introduction of the School of
Entrepreneurial and Innovation Studies of theCollege of Transdi s c i p l i n a r y S c i e n c e s f o rInnovation, which was going to be newly
established. Unlike other colleges, you can dovarious things beyond the walls of academic fields.
Through a questionnaire, I had heard that
Kanazawa University was going to open a newcollege for a transdisciplinary field, and I thought itCollege of Transdisciplinary Sciences for Innovation

College of Transdisciplinary Sciences for Innovation

We asked questions to students in the
School of Entrepreneurial and Innovation Studies❷ At university, I want to focus on and be
specialized in both business and international
exchange, as I would like to acquire skills andknowledge as an entrepreneur and study abroad.
While in school, I would like to learn about startingup and supporting businesses in the real world, andafter graduating from university, I would like to give
advice to companies and start my own business. I
intend to experience various things as much as
possible while I am in school. I am also studying for
the qualification of a Registered Smaller Enterprise
Consultant to prepare for my future.

Act globally[From Aichi]

YOSHIHARA, Suzuha[From Shiga]

you could take both liberal arts and scienceclasses, have a curriculum including launching abusiness or studying abroad. I thought it was thedepartment for someone like just like me who
wasn't sure about what I wanted to do after
graduation.
❷ In high school, even though I was in science
course, I took both science and humanities
because I wanted to work globally in the future. I
am really glad that I'm here because I can learn
things that aren't available anywhere else. For thechallenging future of AI evolution and globalization,

Every day is stimulating

August 2022 – June 2023
To study abroad (in Sweden) at Karlstad University❶ The key to choosing the School of
Entrepreneurial and Innovation Studies is tobecome one of its first students. The foundation
had been built, however, I found it fascinating to
be able to build from the ground by ourselves.
Another reason for choosing the department wasits small size in number of students. I thought thatcurious and interesting people would gather here,
and they would inspire me through working closelywith them. Also, you can learn various subjects
regardless of fields such as liberal arts, science, or
medicine. I was a liberal arts student, but I thoughtthat having a different way of thinking would makeme able to see things in various aspects, andhence enrich my life.
❷ As expected, having entered the school, I get
inspired everyday by many proactive classmates.
Before I met them, I was interested only in fields
such as global co-creation, now I want to interact
with them and learn more about various fields. I
came to want to start a business, which issomething unimaginable to me in the past. I’d liketo continue to grow with them and have thisenergetic and fulfilling university life.

NAGAMORI, Kanto❶ I have many dreams: I want to become aresearcher and study intensively; I want to befinancially secure; go abroad; try programmingand become a businessperson. In my senior yearof high school, I was undecided about what I
would do after graduation. That was when I cameacross with this brochure of this department or
school. At first, I didn't think "transdisciplinary" and"future of innovation" were names of university
departments. I picked it up out of curiosity, it said,
the College of Transdisciplinary Sciences forInnovation would offer various options to students:
