The University of Tokyo Global COE Chemistry Innovation through Cooperation of Science and Engineering
Implementation plan
Concrete measures for implementation
The basis of nurturing talents of the COE project lie in the arrangement of an environment that allows young researchers to devote themselves to research with unsurpassed curiosity while hoping to realize breakthroughs in research, and to achieve correct foresights in natural science and the social state in the present and the future. As for graduate education, our framework of education, livelihood support and clerical support is established to accept talented students from home and abroad at our world-class laboratories so that they will be able to act in various fields of academe, industry, public administration, international activities, etc. Further, postdoctoral fellows and young faculty members will be given opportunities to experience and produce excellent research results and exert their own power of research in the world’s highest-level research groups. We also aim to guide them to lead junior fellows in the scientific concepts of values and morals.
Support measures for career path establishment
- 1) Young faculty members with creative research plans shall be encouraged with research funds upon evaluation.
- 2) Newly-appointed professors planning to start new research laboratories shall be provided with funds for starting-up.
- 3) Doctoral course students shall be employed as research assistants through processing, to assist partial livelihood.
- 4) Opportunities such as meetings shall be made available to promote understanding of PhD holders’ possibilities for success in industries and research institutes.
Education measures
- 1) Foreign students shall be given basic chemistry lectures in English.
- 2) Graduate course lectures by invited foreign professors shall be provided.
- 3) Lectures given in science and engineering departments shall be systematized. Lectures by alumni flourishing in industries and lectures concerning vocational rules on ethics and safety will be introduced.
Measure for nurturing internationalism
- 1) Action shall be taken to accept foreign students and foreign post doctoral researchers in the Departments.
- 2) Short-term overseas internships shall be implemented to dispatch doctoral students to universities, research institutes and enterprises for certain periods.
- 3) Overseas young lectureships shall be implemented to enable young faculty members to visit several research institutions overseas to give lectures and hold discussions with researchers.
- 4) International conferences shall be held to allow doctoral students to not only present research results, but also to discuss their career designs with foreign universities and research institutes.
