Our Mission“Creating and fostering higher knowledge and wisdom”
How can we, the human race, develop and grow in a steady and sustainable manner for the sake of future
generations? At Okayama University, we have the answer. It is imperative that we build up our knowledge inorder to advance education and research. As a public institution of higher learning, we are committed tocontributing to this advancement by providing a positive environment for the creation of higher knowledge
through research and the passing on of wisdom to younger generations through education and community
service.

Our Purpose“Building up a new paradigm for a sustainable world”
As one of the leading universities in Japan, we aim to create and establish a new paradigm for thesustainable development of the world. We are being confronted with problems of global proportions in termsof the environment, energy issues, food supplies, economics, health, security and education. Thus, we areconstantly seeking ways for humans to co-exist in harmony with nature. With this in mind, our university

Research Institute
Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR)

Institute of Plant Science and Resources was originally established in 1914 as the “Ohara Institute for Agricultural Research”
with the aim of advancing the agricultural sciences. The founder was Magosaburo Ohara, a major figure in the modernizationof Okayama. In 1952, the institute became affiliated with Okayama University and was renamed the “Institute for Agricultural
Biology”. In 1988, the Institute was renamed the “Research Institute for Bioresources”. On April 1, 2010, the institute wasrenamed the “Institute of Plant Science and Resources” (IPSR) as a joint usage/research center for scientists in Japan. IPSR
comprises Atmospheric Stress unit, Soil Stress unit, Biotic Stress unit, Genetic Resources unit, and Applied Genomics unit
under two research areas (Research Core for Plant Stress Science and Research Core for Future Crops) and one research
center (Barley and Wild Plant Resource Center). The institute's current scientific mission is to develop new crops that will besuited for multiple stress environments and to promote agricultural production in stress affected areas worldwide.

Institute for Planetary Materials (IPM)

Institute for Planetary Materials (IPM) was established in April 2016 through reorganization of the Institute for Study of Earth’s
Interior. IPM is located at Misasa, Tottori. IPM is a world-class research institution in the field of Earth and planetary materials
science with a range of experimental facilities and analytical expertise. The institute has research divisions: “Basic Planetary
Materials”; “Planetary Systems Science”; and, “Astrobiology”. The institute is promoting research programs in Earth andplanetary materials science including those related to the origin of life, as well as interdisciplinary research and thedevelopment of new research fields. The institute has also been promoting education of next-generation researchers via a
5-year doctoral program within the Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, the Blue Planets Special Course at
the Graduate School of Environmental, Life, Natural Science and Technology, and the Misasa International Student Internship
Program.

Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science (RIIS)

Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science (RIIS) was established in April 2016, to study physics and fundamental
biological science with an extensively interdisciplinary approach. In particular, RIIS investigates neutrino physics using laser
spectroscopy, the structure and mechanism of natural photosynthesis and the fabrication of artificial photosynthesis systems,
new functional materials for future electronic devices, the design of superconducting materials with a high superconducting
critical temperature, and the theoretical elucidation of the properties of energy storage materials. Furthermore, RIIS aims at
producing new functional materials and devices through interdisciplinary collaboration by physicists, mathematicians, chemists,
and biologists. In April 1, 2023, RIIS established an International Structural Biology Center as an attachment center, to which
not only the researchers related to the structural biology within RIIS but also over the university joined. RIIS will introduce acryo-electron microscope within 2023, and the new structural biology center will make use of the new cryo-electron microscope
jointly with other techniques and researchers from within the university as well as outside of the university, to advancestructural biology and related researches.

Research Institute for the Dynamics of Civilizations (RIDC)

The Research Institute for the Dynamics of Civilizations (RIDC) was established in April 2021 by reorganizing the Center for
Research on the Dynamics of Civilizations, formerly attached to the Graduate School of Humanities and Social Sciences.
RIDC is an interdisciplinary research hub centered primarily on the humanities and social sciences, including archaeology,
history, anthropology, economics, sociology, and philosophy, that aims to facilitate close collaboration with researchers invarious scientific fields at Okayama University and other institutions in Japan and abroad. Since 2022, the institute has beenorganized into the Research Division and the Cultural Heritage Management Division, and is also responsible for conducting
excavation of and research on the archaeological sites on campus. The Research Division has three research cores: theFundamental Science of Civilizations Research Core, the Social Dynamics Research Core, and the Regional Dynamics
Research Core. RIDC aims to contribute to the construction of a sustainable society by clarifying the complex dynamics of howsocial organizations, technologies, beliefs, economics, and the arts are interrelated and how they change the way people live.

Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR)
Institute of Plant Science and Resources (IPSR) is serving as a nationwide “Joint Usage/Research Center” for plant genetic
resources and stress science. It is focused on research of plant responses and adaptation to variable stress conditions using
plant genetic resources developed at the institute. IPSR annually manages research projects from outside the institute andmakes its advanced research equipment and instruments available for such “Joint Usage/Research Center” projects. IPSR
also has a new guesthouse as accommodation for visiting researchers.

Institute for Planetary Materials (IPM)
Institute for Planetary Materials (IPM) was designated as a Joint Usage/Research Center in "Planetary Material Science " by
the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) in 2022 based on its achievements as a"Nationwide Joint Usage Center" and "Joint Usage/Research Center" up to then. The Institute provides opportunities to alarge number of domestic and international researchers and students to access its internationally unique comprehensive
analytical and experimental facility and expertise to conduct research in Earth and planetary materials science and to develop
new fields via approaches such as chemical analysis, dating, structural analysis, and high-temperature and high-pressure
experiments. The Institute is also strengthening collaboration with domestic and international research institutes, and actively
contributing to analyses of extraterrestrial samples and data from international sample return missions such as Hayabusa2
and OSIRIS-REx.
