MEXT H30 WISE Program: Doctoral Program forWorld-leading Innovative & Smart Education

We look forward to the participation of students who want tomake a social impact utilizing materials and information.

"Creating sustainable societies through[Material×Information] multi-talented

In order to foster outstanding individuals, the Institute established the Tokyo Tech Academy for
Convergence of Materials and Informatics (TAC-MI) in April 2019 under the auspices of MEXTʼs WISE
Program, and will begin recruiting students starting in Fall Semester 2021. While in their graduate studies,
students pursuing a doctoral degree can take this additional program, which will enable them to connect
information with materials by using information science and multifaceted thinking, as well as by taking a broad
perspective. The program aims, in addition to the top-level research, to cultivate multi-talented humanresources to become leaders in this “space in multi-axes” that is our continually advancing society.
