Approaches

MessagePresident
Prof.Tadashi Matsunaga

DeanProf. Akinori Koukitu

Tokyo University of Agricultureand Technology (TUAT) distinctively focuses on education andresearch in the fields ofagriculture and engineering that
constitute the core of industry
today. Our future vision basedon a third medium-term
objectives/plan is to achieve
competitive research capabilitieson the world stage. Resolving
serious problems such asenvironmental degradation, energy issues, and food andconstructing a sustainable
society requires efforts from a
broad range of perspectives
extending beyond the pivotal
agriculture and engineering
framework.

TUAT was selected as one of
the twelve national universities
rapidly promoting global research in 2014. In April 2016, TUAT
established the Institute of
Global Innovation Research(GIR) including the three organizations: “Women's Future Development Organization,” “Innovation Advancement Organization,”and “Organization for Promotionof Tenure-track System” . Wepromote the activities of fourteen
strategic research teams on
three major areas: “food,”“energy” and “life sciences,” .

As part of the National Universities' Budget for the FY2014, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology received priority allocation for the rapid enhancement of educational and world-class research activities. In exploiting
our advantages in the agriculture and engineering fields, and as an initiative to enhance our research capabilities, we established the Institute of Global Innovation Research as a research university in April 2016. We prioritize
research in three key areas: “food,” “energy” and “life sciences,” which constitute an interdisciplinary area between agriculture and engineering fields. We aim to develop the Global Innovation Human Resources in Science whohave a broad vision of both scientific techniques and management skills, among other skills, as well as a global perspective.

FoodEnergyLife science

Food is one of the critical challenges that the international community iscurrently facing. Particularly, food shortages afflict many people living
mainly in the Asia-Pacific region. “Food” as a priority theme encompasses
both food production and environmental science to solve these issues.

Energy issues should be considered to be a great challenge facinghumanity. “Energy” as a priority theme addresses energy problems
according to the application of capacitors, LED, ionic liquids, and smart
green mobility.

Life science has a significant impact on our health and well-being. “LifeScience” as a priority theme pushes and precedes the edge of technicalpossibility, mainly in protein synthesis and life science.

to enhance the further globalization of younger researchers, including graduate students. The strategic research teams provide
these researchers with various
opportunities to interact with internationally recognized professors
to increase their competitivenessand gain global-innovative humanresources.
