Think Tank Unit

Think Tank

The Think Tank Unit’s approach to problem-solving involves integrating knowledge from the natural sciences to the humanities and social sciences and design. We are tasked with designing an ideal future society and create processes that address various social issues by focusing on the three entry points initially to reach our ultimate goal.
In collaboration with not only other three units but also the Data-Driven Innovation Initiative and other internal university organizations, we will propose new, ideal social models and share them with broader society in order to gain the understanding and empathy of the general public. We are committed to working for change toward a society in which each individual can pursue their own version of happiness.
