This course aims at helping students better understand current situations of education in Asia, particularly under the influence of globalization. We will discuss theoretical, institutional and practical dimensions of education, with particular interests of how education could contribute to the promotion and realization of more sustainable society.

This course is for students who 1. Are interested in practical applications of their research. 2. Believe that some of these applications are new and respond to unmet needs, and that people will be willing to pay for them. 3. Are interested in forming a new company as a sensible way to develop these applications. The spring semester course, Needs Inspired Inventionニーズに触発された発明, also seeks students who answer “yes” to the same questions. However, University Entrepreneurship, focuses on how to build a new company than can carry forward early stage development quickly and efficiently with benefit to the founders as well as society at large.

This course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to the key ideas in Physical Chemistry with a focus on Quantum Mechanics and Thermodynamics. By the end of the course, students should be able to 1) Understand the failure of classical mechanics. 2) Explain the key principles of quantum mechanics. 3) Rationalize the structure of atoms based on quantum mechanics. 4) Explain why the periodic table has the form that it has. 5) Describe the models of chemical bonding and use these models to predict the shapes and stabilities of molecules. 6) Understand the structure of gases including the effects of intermolecular forces. 7) Make calculations based on the kinetic theory of gases 8) Understand the relationship between the properties of individual molecules and of bulk samples. 9) Appreciate the significance of the Boltzmann distribution 10) Understanding key ideas in thermodynamic including work, heat, enthalpy, entropy and Gibbs energy. 11) Applying the basic concepts of thermodynamics to chemical equilibria

　東京大学は、1983年に臨時遺跡調査室（現在の埋蔵文化財調査室）を開設して以来、本郷キャンパスの発掘を営々と続けてきた。東京でこれほど徹底的に掘られ続けている場所はほかにない。かつての加賀藩邸跡に東京大学がほぼそのまま存在しているがゆえに、発掘成果は近世考古学という学問領域の成立に大きく貢献し、発掘対象は古いほどよいとされてきた考古学の在り方を根底から変えた。 　本講義では、発掘の成果に加えて、地上に「埋蔵」されているもの（見えているのに気づかないもの）にも目を向け、東京大学本郷キャンパスがどのように形成され、今日の姿に至ったかをたどる。東京大学の「文化資源」を発掘しようとする試みでもある。 　文化資源学研究室と埋蔵文化財調査室が組み、さらに総合研究博物館、文書館の教員が参加し、リレー形式で東京大学の姿を明らかにする。キャンパスツアーもある。東京大学に入学しても、大半の学生は東京大学を知らずに卒業していく。それはもったいない。

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.

- to grasp the concept/nature of globalisation and its governance - to understand the variety of global issues and conflicts involved in them - to explore the cooperative ways in which to mitigate/settle/solve those conflicts

COVID-19 has starkly reinforced how the world faces global risks, of which COVID is only one out of many. Why does the World Economic Forum publish its annual Global Risks Report and how does it arrive at its findings? And what are so-called “Existential Risks” that supposedly pose a risk to humanity’s very survival? As governments such as the United Kingdom issue National Risk Registers to guide policy makers, this module enables students to examine the security dimensions of living in what sociologists have termed a ‘World Risk Society’. It highlights the new nature of vulnerability in an era of contested and often politicised science, as well as the impact on how we conceptualise and think about security. The module shows how key stakeholders such as industry, media, governments and politicians have to play crucial roles in not only shaping responses to these perceived risks, but also how to appropriately manage them. Students will be introduced to how risks of all types have challenged policy makers in the post-Cold War era from ethnic conflicts in Kosovo, the 9/11 terror attacks, Afghanistan, Iraq and so-called Islamic State. Most recently so-called existential risks such as AI and climate change and systemic risks to critical infrastructure such as the Suez Canal have captured attention. Concepts such as Security Paradigm Shifts, Omission versus Commission; the Risk Calculus, and Precautionary Principle will be discussed. While these issues are not necessarily new in a historical sense, this module shows how they have garnered renewed attention through the prism of risk. Policy responses are finally examined such as capacity for building “futures literacy” and National Risk Assessment Exercises. The following outcomes are emphasized: 1.An ability to understand and evaluate a range of new security challenges and policy responses interconnected through globalization and technology 2.The linkage between industry, media, politics, and science and its relevance to global security affairs 3.The ability to collate and evaluate arguments from different sources and theoretical perspectives 4.The ability to formulate and articulate views coherently in written and oral forms 5.Critical thinking, analytical and reading skills
