S-cubic Program

Advanced COSA: Course of Science Administration

We invite corporate research institute directors (or people of equivalent rank) to give lectures, using examples, on how education and research experience gained in doctoral programs at graduate schools is being utilized in corporate research and activities, and what companies today expect from post-doctors　(PD) and Doctoral students　(DC). The lecturers have experience at the forefront of research in companies where many basic science researchers are employed and active, and are currently engaged in daily issues such as the nature of corporate research and how basic research should be conducted. Through these lectures, we aim for post-doctors　(PD) and graduate students to deepen their understanding of the current state of corporate research, which is important both in corporate and academic activities, to recognize the importance of basic science in society, and to broaden their horizons.
Starting in 2008, we have also included young and mid-career researchers as lecturers.
