Monbukagakusho MEXT: International Special Doctoral Course for Integrated River Basin Management

Overview

The aim of the Global COE is to conduct research and education on applying the cutting edge scientific technologies concerning water and water quality to suit the river basin environments in the Asian region; it also aims to train human resources that can take on the task of solving all various disasters and health problems caused by water issues occurring in Asia. With the results already achieved by 21st Century COE, further research education is being steadily conducted to encompass a wider scope. And in addition to existing courses, such as the "International Special Doctoral Program for Integrated River Basin Management" that has welcomed over 30 national and international students up to now and the "Virtual Academy" that saw 150 students, new courses have also been launched to include "Implementation of Interdisciplinary Education of Medicine and Engineering," a pioneering new field, as well as core programs like "Hydro-Intelligence Unit" and "Overseas Cooperation Centers."
