Nozu Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab draws on local resources to explore sustainable regional societies in which cities and rural areas are connected.

AboutAbout the lab
Unsolved problems lie in the boundary areas.
The Nozu Lab studies, from a public policy perspective, how to realize sustainable regional societies.
Its focus is boundary areas where multiple fields intersect, such as the environment, regional revitalization, agriculture, food, energy, and innovation.
In collaboration with companies and government agencies, the lab sets research themes that are needed in the real world and aims to give its results back to society.
Most members come from humanities and social science faculties, but some come from science and engineering faculties, and working professionals are also enrolled as students.
