About Us

What is the Super Smart Society Promotion Consortium?
The Super Smart Society Promotion Consortium was established to co-create a next-generation society-collaborative education andresearch platform that integrates HRD (human resource development) and R&D (research and development) through the collaborationof industry, government, and academia, with the aim of cultivating leaders who will support the upcoming super-smart society (Society 5.0).
This consortium is led by three committees, Super Smart Society Promotion Committee, Social Collaborative Education SteeringCommittee, Interdisciplinary Research Promotion Committee, which plan and promote various activities.

Interdisciplinary Research
Promotion Committee

Human resource development in collaboration
with the excellent curricula of WISE Program forSuper Smart Society
Holding and opening of Courses on Super Smart
Society Innovation
Implementation of oﬀ-campus projects (internships)

Holding matching workshops to establish joint
research teams
Establishing super smart society education andresearch ﬁelds
Planning open innovation projects andestablishing systems

Our eﬀorts toward realizing a super smart society are steadily beginning to bear fruit ﬁve years after theestablishment of the Super Smart Society Promotion Consortium in October 2018. With AI and quantum
computers functioning as the social infrastructure, connecting people and society through IT has become
increasingly important. Furthermore, we plan to expand our activities into new ﬁelds, such as
medicine-engineering interdisciplinary collaboration, to create a sustainable future in response to the rapidlychanging composition of human society and its natural environment. We seek your participation indeveloping our Consortium.
