Concept

To solve serious environmental and food problems on a global scale and build a prosperous and sustainable society, we will contribute to the SDGs by creating the next generation of green science and technology using digital technology under the philosophy of bioeconomy, and by linking the results to social implementation.


Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST) supports the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Policy

Based on our world-class research in the field of plant biotechnology and microbiology, we will create next-generation of green science and technology that integrates digital information technologies such as AI, IoT, VR/AR, and digital I/O technologies such as nano-sensors and eco-devices and materials.

Initiative

• Creation, Leading, and Dissemination of Interdisciplinary Fields
  We will create, lead, and disseminate digital green science and technology to the world as an interdisciplinary field that integrates the three research fields, Information science, bioscience and material science of NAIST that are world-renowned.


• Promotion of Bioeconomy and Industry-Academia Cooperation
  We will promote bioeconomy based on digital green science and technology, and contribute to the SDGs by promoting systematic industry-academia cooperation with the bio-industry.


• Enhancement of Human Resource Development
  We will develop human resources who can contribute to the construction of a sustainable society and the realization of Society 5.0 to solve environmental and food problems.
