About Us

We are working to increase the number of students entering doctoral and post-doctoral programs and to support the career development of doctoral and post-doctoral students.
Specifically, we are taking various measures, such as holding seminars to acquire generic skills and broaden horizons, and holding matching events to create connections with the industry, so that students can pursue diverse careers not only in academia but also in industry, entrepreneurship, and other areas and become people who can play an active role in society.
