President Message
Human Resource Development and Social Contribution Based on World Top-level Research
Pioneer the Future and Lead the World with the Cutting-edge
Research and the Development of Global Human Resources

After the establishment in October 1990, Japan Advanced Institute of
Science and Technology (JAIST) has produced world top-level researchachievements in a wide range of the fields of advanced science and technology, and has developed excellent human resources.
“The Outline of Concept of Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology” issued in September, 1990 and called “The Yellow Book” was considered as a bible for the founding of JAIST. It set the purposes of the establishment to “fostering university researchers and developing researchers andengineers for industry” as well as “promoting advanced basic research in thefields of advanced science and technology.”

President

Based on the purposes of the establishment, we formulated the “The Future Vision of JAIST” as a guideline for fostering globally active humanresources and aiming to become the world's top research university.

[The Future Vision of JAIST]Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) aims to become a world’s top research university for innovation creation. While adAcademic Field :vancing the sophistication and excellence of its original research, JAISTPolymer Chemistry, Polymer Science
opens up the future of science and technology and contributes to sustainable development through new co-creation based on global-scale collaborations with domestic and overseas universities, research institutes and industry.
Taking advantage of the integrated graduate school, JAIST welcomes motivated students widely from all over the world andfosters them to become global leaders who hold solid expertise in advanced science and technology with “Resilience and Cocreativity ” to lead the new era.

TERANO Minoru, Ph.D.

World-class ResearchWith regard to research, we value the expertise of each faculty member and promote the development of new research fields
through collaborations with researchers in Japan and overseas. Using a variety of governmental funds obtained recently, JAIST
also aims to establish its function as a research hub for advanced science and technology by strengthening broad collaborations with universities, public research institutes, and corporations around the world. JAIST will build a network of researchcollaborations throughout Japan and the world.

State-of-the-art Education System

We believe that students should be involved in “the creation of science and technology” in order to “foster leading humanresources who can pioneer a new world through the creation of science and technology”, as stated in the principle of JAIST.
Therefore, in addition to the research guidance by the faculty, it is necessary to provide a systematic education consisting of thewide range of knowledge to make the guidance more effective and methodology for its practical application. Such educationis the foundation for students to take active roles in society after graduation. In order to produce excellent achievements, it isimportant and necessary for students to possess solid basic knowledge and methodology of problem solving. While maintaining the educational characteristics of JAIST that any courses can be selected from all the fields flexibly, we will continue toreform our curriculum as the integrated graduate school. We believe that the updated and fulfilling curriculum is quite importantfor university education.

Student Recruitment and Support

With regard to student recruitment, since the number of applicants for the master's program has already reached far more thanits quota, we will proceed the fulfilling and stable procedure in the future, including international students. For this reason, we
will promote the acquisition of students through the cooperation with faculty members of other universities and the conclusionof agreements on admission by recommendation with universities throughout Japan. To the acquisition of doctoral program,we will dedicate our best efforts because the increase has a direct effect on the improvement of our research capabilities. Some
prospective doctoral students seem to hesitate to enter the doctoral program due to financial difficulties or concern about theircareer paths after graduation. Therefore, we will promote drastic changes in financial support for doctoral students.

Campus Environmentally Rich in Diversity

Nearly 40% of our students are international students from about 20 countries overseas, and many of our classes are conducted in English. We believe that maintaining such an environmentally rich in diversity will be effective in fostering humanresources who can play an active role on the global stage.

Introduction

Reskill and Recurrent Education for Working Professionals

As for the recurrent education for working professionals at our Tokyo Satellite Campus, we have a long history, centering on the
program of management of technology (MOT). Currently, in addition to MOT, we are offering a variety of programs including AI
innovation. We accept many working professionals as regular students. From now on, we will work on accepting non-regularstudents in addition to the regular students through the development of a broader range of programs, such as opening seminars on specific themes, timing, and period. We have established Center for Reskill & Recurrent Education to promote thisactivity in April 2022.

Promotion and Utilization of Industry-Academia Collaborations

With regard to industry-academia collaboration, JAIST has promoted it since early years right after its foundation. Industryacademia collaboration, which is represented by joint research with companies, has many research benefits, such as acquiring
research funds and implementing research outcomes in society. If students participate in such joint research, they will havean opportunity to capture their research from a broader viewpoints, such as practicality, cost, and the treatment of intellectual
property, which become significant educational benefits. Understanding the educational benefits of the industry-academic
collaborations, JAIST has established a system of visiting professors to utilize their knowledge of the industrial world and ask
them to be involved in education of JAIST. We are planning to ask those visiting professors to teach some introductory courses
for working professionals so that we will be able to make it another special feature of JAIST education in the future.

“Matching HUB”

“Matching HUB” is a premier event of JAIST related to industry-academia and regional collaborations leading to the innovation,
which has been held continuously every year and expanded throughout Japan. The tenth event held in Kanazawa in November
2023 had 1,636 participants. From the fourth event in 2017, a student idea contest called “Matching HUB Business Idea & Plan
Competition” (M-BIP) has been held and we have enjoyed dozens of applications from all over JAPAN. Matching HUB has been
introduced to Kumamoto, Otaru, Sapporo, Tokushima, Nagaoka and other parts of Japan. By networking them, we are contributing to the revitalization of not only the regions where the events are held but also the entire country.
JAIST will develop itself further as a world-leading research university with the mission of “promoting world top-level research, developing human resource development through it, and contributing to society through education and research.” The world is in thequite serious situation by the Coronavirus infection. JAIST contributes to develop the technology to overcome such world crisis.

Advanced Graduate Education and Research
JAIST welcomes talented students and researchers, regardless of their previous academic majors, not only
from recent university graduates but also from people with work experience.

● Internationalized Campus Environment

Nearly 40% of the students of JAIST are from abroad. Many international researchers visit JAIST for international conferences or stay at JAIST for joint research projects.

Education● Major Research Project and Minor Research Project

JAIST has used a supervisory system whereby, in addition to a research theme related to a major fieldof study “Major Research Project”, students are required to take on a secondary research theme “Minor
Research Project” to obtain some fundamental concepts, knowledge, and abilities from different research
fields from your major field.

● Introductory Courses

In order to reinforce master’s-level specialized foundation, JAIST has a course group that contributes toproviding a foundation for one’s ability by giving understanding of the borders of interdisciplinary fields.

● Tutorial Hours for Individual Consultation

Each course is held twice a week. KS/IS/MS courses are held in the morning (1st and 2nd period) and4th period of Tuesday and Thursday. 3rd period is for the tutorial hours for the 1st period class on thatday. Students can ask questions or discuss with the instructor during the tutorial hours and the time canbe used for exercises, supplemental instruction etc.

An intellectual odyssey towards achieving rich quality of life by integrating and transcending science, technology and art.
The creative society design research area aims to design a creative society, where everyone can lead a radiant and enriched life, we willtake an intellectual odyssey that integrates and transcends science, technology, and art, approaching it from both the human element and themachine element (or both analog and digital elements). Specifically, we will conduct: 1) research on information technology and interaction
related to expression and collaborative activities that take human creativity into account; 2) research on social systems using simulation
technology and network science to realize safety and security; and 3) research on design that brings innovation in products and services by
incorporating human sensibilities and values. Through these three research areas, we aim to realize a human society in which everyone cancontribute to innovation to improve QoL (Quality of Life) and achieve the SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).

Transformative Knowledge Management
Our mission is to develop Next-generation knowledge management theories to promote social transformation andapply for practical problem-solving to build a wellbeing society.

Knowledge management has mainly focused on how to share and utilize knowledge in order to make the employees’ tacit knowledge as
a competitive resource for organizations. However, the key to next generation knowledge management will be how to bring about change
and contribute to human wellbeing through knowledge creation, sharing, and transformation. We consider knowledge as a transformational
resource for building a society where people can experience and pursue wellbeing, and we share the common questions of what is the natureof knowledge and knowledge creation that promotes radical change, and how do we need to renew knowledge management in order todevelop the ability to change? In this research area, we will define "knowledge management" from the perspective of "transformation throughknowledge", and aim to construct theories and solve practical problems through transformation.

Co-creative Intelligence
Our mission is to explore new intelligence that sustainably promotes the development andevolution of the advanced knowledge society through research on the human – technology co-creation of knowledge.

Cutting-edge science and technology are expanding human intellectual, physical, and mental activities and promoting the power ofknowledge creation. On the other hand, human beings have intellectual activities unique to them, such as comprehensive judgment tomake responsible decisions, intuition to catch faint signals, and creative trial and error to create knowledge by posing new problems andformulating hypotheses. There is a need for research and practice on these intellectual activities and the deep communication and co-creation
abilities that humans have with others. In our knowledge society, knowledge creation is the main activity of humans and a resource fororganizational competitiveness. The co-creation activities between science and technology and humans are essential for the sustainable
creation and development of value. We call the intelligence that creates new knowledge by integrating state-of-the-art science and technology
with human intelligence and creativity ""co-creative intelligence."" By exploring this new kind of intelligence that people active in theknowledge society should possess, we aim at clarifying the essence of intelligence and creativity. Simultaneously we conduct research anddevelop cutting-edge science and technology and propose to the community the ideal form of intelligence and science and technology.

Computing Science
Study computation, know the limits of computation, andunveil methods of the right conclusion from an ocean of data.

The world is facing many problems that require urgent solutions, but the use of the computer does not necessarily provide an immediate
solution to all of them. Some problems cannot be solved in principle even if we use a supercomputer, and some others would require for
their solution a longer time than the life of the universe. How can we create rigorous bug-free programs, extract only meaningful data from a
massive amount of data, and get answers that we really need within a reasonable time? How can we guarantee the security, correctness, andvalidity of these computations?
This area is an interdisciplinary research area with cross-disciplinary education and research covering computer science, mathematics,
artificial intelligence, data science, and other related fields from basic theory to applications of computing, from the viewpoints of information
science. We aim to promote the evolution of the field of computing and artificial intelligence.

Next-generation Digital Infrastructure
Next-generation Digital Infrastructure Research Area performs research and graduate educationon the fundamentals of ICT systems, to realize and extend comfortable, dependable , secure E-Society.

ICT (Information and Communications Technology) has made great advances and supported progress in all science and technology.
In addition, ICT investment has a close relationship to corporate performance, and has become a key driver of national growth strategy.
This trend is clearly increasing as our daily lives with IoT (Internet of Things) are based on smart infrastructure and highly dependent on
ICT systems. The Next-generation Digital Infrastructure Research Area performs research and graduate education on the fundamentals of
ICT systems, to make wide-ranging contributions not only to human resources development and academic research achievement but also toindustry, standardization activities, and governmental policy making.

Scanning transmission electron microscopy is a method to observe finestructures of materials. STEM equipped with a spherical aberration corrector allows us to obtain high-angle annular dark-field images at a highresolution of 0.08 nm. It is also possible to analyze elemental distributions
and chemical bonding states of materials by using energy dispersive X-ray
spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy.

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is one of the powerful non-destructive analytical methods to obtain chemical and physical information of research samples. The high-field (800 MHz) NMR in JAIST ismainly used to investigate structure, dynamics, and interaction of biomolecules such as proteins, saccharides, DNA and RNA.

By detecting secondary electrons generated from the surface of a sample
irradiated with a focused ion beam, it is possible to obtain the sample surface image called a scanning ion microscope (SIM) image. It is also possible
to perform fine processing at a target position of the sample while observing
the SIM image. The FIB system contributes to the preparation of samples
for cross-sectional observations of transmission electron microscopy.

International Research Center for Artificial Intelligence and Entertainment Science
Bridging the objective and the subjective for a democratic future

Institutes for Education andResearch

For decades, artificial intelligence (AI) has been developed with intelligent search techniques and powerful learning agents to adapt
to competitive settings. This condition leads to the notion of robust AI, which applies its data-driven knowledge to a wide range ofproblems systematically and reliably, synthesizing them from a variety of sources, where it can reason flexibly and dynamically about
the world, transfer what it learns from one context to another, and finally build some semblance of trust. In conjunction with the AI
research, entertainment science (ES) had gained momentum where aggregate value functions, enhanced affordance, improvised utility, and diverse reward systems were designed to make the process entertaining (i.e., gamification), subjective outcome measurable(i.e., engaging, fun, etc.), and quantifiable affective characteristic (i.e., exciting, motivating, etc.). Bridging AI and ES applied in a gameenvironment provided the platform to benefit both sides as a new form of scientific venture while establishing common interests tounderstand better how those fields interact in popular media and other real-life problems.
Such research has undergone concerted efforts that brought together fields such as game informatics, human-like AI, humancomputer interactions, entertainment computing, game analytics, AI search, information system, and the like. As digital games have
explored human-driven phenomena, AI agents that are emotionally sentient would enable complex tasks to be performed more effectively, make better decisions, and offer more practical and effective services. In the post-corona, the need to intertwine AI and ES
was becoming more critical, especially in learning, services, safety, workforce, robotics, supply chain, manufacturing, etc. Overhaul
in interaction design, physical and virtual stimuli, relative to co-creation and collaboration between human and machine could be observed and significantly impacted. This research center acts as a platform for multi-disciplinary research efforts that disseminate andproduce new knowledge and service development by capitalizing on games as the basis of a dynamic testing environment; therefore,
solving real-world problems step by step.

Research Center for Vision Oriented Society Design
Designing a metaverse real-world fusion society where everyone can flourish

To that end, we will lead society by designing a future vision where we can have dreams and hopes, and by promoting technological development guided by that vision. To formulate a vision that will spark this new leap forward, we will integrate Metaverse
and Physical Designs, which create a future supported by social trends and technology, as well as physical design, and develop
Knowledge Emergence Technology to realize that vision. In Metaverse Design, we formulate a vision that goes far beyond the constraints of reality with a variety of people that would be difficult in the real world. In Physical Design, new activities, city designs, andrisk avoidance are researched based on people's activity data. Furthermore, based on the JST Moonshot Project and collaboration
with Professor. Hyota Echizenya, we will research knowledge emergence technology that supports the search for new knowledge.

the Center offers reskill education for working professionals
to acquire specialized knowledge and skills in specific fields
rather than focusing on receiving a degree. We hope to further promote recurrent education at JAIST and contribute to
the revitalization of industry at large.
