Promote work-life balance.
We aim to establish a research environment thatensures work-life balance and diversity.
The society is made up of a wide variety of people, andeach way of life as well as life stage has to be respected
for sustainable development.
We also introduce our progress and achievements
through our website and local media, to contribute to
the realization of a diversity research environment inand around Yokohama.
To that end, we actively cooperate with domestic andoverseas institutions.

Conduct joint research.
We aim to conduct joint research projects on "lifeinnovation", which entails creating and implementing
new mechanisms and to generate changes in society
through research related to survival such as medical
science, life science, and research in the field ofintegrated arts and sciences that contributes to theenrichment of ourlives.
