Through the "Kitakyushu Innovative Human Resource and Regional Development Program," we will support the growth of doctoral students in collaboration with various organizations in the Kitakyushu area, enabling them to proactively engage in professional activities within society. Participating students are expected to engage in research and social activities in close cooperation with these organizations. In addition to utilizing their world-class research skills both in Japan and abroad, the program aims to sustain the students' ties with businesses and communities in the Kitakyushu region and to foster a form of co-development that benefits both the program graduates and the Kitakyushu region.
