Key Joint Research Project
This GCOE program implements Key Joint Research Projects that reach across departments and academic fields to tackle concrete problems in base cities. The aim of the projects is to specify human security concepts in accordance with local characteristics, verify the issues to overcome, and promote a common awareness of the need for cooperation between different fields to demonstrate the effectiveness of problems solving studies. We consider these projects to be key projects for the future development of our activities with an eye to cooperating with international institutions and NPOs in each base city, and believe that the results will lead to concrete policy recommendations for Asian cities.
