Integrative Evolutionary Science
Research Center for Integrative Evolutionary Science
Overview
A New Outlook on Life and the Future
In order to foster individuals who can independently conduct outstanding research and contribute to society with a high level of expertise in either the field of biological evolution or the field of science and society, We offer programs where students acquire the skill to present and discuss their research and conduct internationally organized research projects with their expertise. At the same time, we offer programs that aim to cultivate individuals who have a broad perspective on scientific research, understand the relationship between science and society, and have a high awareness of research ethics.
