分野トップの講師陣による講義。異分野の基礎と先端について学び、系統的な幅広い知識を習得する。 Lectures by a diverse group of top researchers in their fields. From the basics to the state-of-the-art research. Develop a broad range of knowledge systematically.

広く産学官にわたってグローバルに活躍するために必要な「俯瞰力」を養成することを目指す。物質科学の各分野について最先端の知識を修得し、自分の専門分野と周辺分野がどのように関連するか、あるいはし得るか、について深く考察するために、第一線で活躍する講師の方々にその分野の最前線を概観していただく。さらに、それらの講義を通して異分野間のコミュニケーションを円滑に進めるための具体的方法論を学ぶ。 This survey course is designed to enable students to develop the broad perspective that is required of global leaders working in and across industry, academia, and government. Students will gain knowledge and insight on advancements in each field of materials science research, given by leading researchers working on the frontline in those fields. This will allow students to consider how peripheral fields are related to their own area of expertise, and to consider the potential for forging bridges between related fields in the future. In addition, students will learn specific methodologies designed to facilitate smooth communication among different disciplines.

学内の所属部局以外の研究室が主催する１週間から２週間の実習に参加し、異分野への体験的理解と交流を深める。 Practical learning through participating in a one-to-two weeks’ lab course provided by a lab in UTokyo other than one’s own affiliation. Exposure to research in different fields to broaden perspectives and expand network through communication with faculty and students.

この授業では細胞生物学の最先端の研究内容を習得する。特に、細胞内シグナル伝達、細胞運動、細胞分裂、染色体動態、遺伝子発現制御、について最先端の研究内容を学ぶ。 This course focuses on cell biology including intracellular signal transduction, cell motility, cell division, chromosome dynamics and gene regulation by small RNA.

Japan once was regarded as “a model” for the West not only for its economic and industrial power but also for its excellence in education, culture, low crime late, and the perception of an “equal society”. But were these images of Japan true? To answer this question, the class will center on the following questions: How does a society become a particular, in this case a “Japanese society”? How are the changes in the processes of becoming “Japanese” related with changes in Japanese society? How do those interchanges in people and society make Japanese society look “unique” (or at least make people believe it is unique)? To understand these complex issues, in this class we will discuss the key themes from a range of vantage points: education, work, family and gender, welfare system, social stratification, and natural (and partly human-made) disaster and the ‘lost decades’. The main goal of this course is to develop an understanding of the features of contemporary Japanese society from a sociological perspective in 11　important themes. Students are expected to learn contemporary issues in Japanese society as well as how sociology can approach them. Learning outcomes are expected 1) to understand features of contemporary Japanese society and its changes in 11 important themes and 2) to acquire a “sociological imagination” (a way of thinking “sociologically” both with sociological theories and methods) to understand contemporary (post-)industrial societies including Japan and other societies.

Resilience is the intrinsic ability of a system to adjust its functioning prior to, during, or following changes and disturbances, so that it can sustain required operations under both expected and unexpected conditions. Resilience can be an advanced concept of safety based on probabilistic concept of risk and now drawing attention of researchers and practitioners. Resilience engineering is an academic area of study to pursue methodologies how to implement resilience to complex socio-technological systems. This lecture provides fundamental concepts, frameworks of resilience engineering as well as an up-to-date overview of specific applications.
