As centers of learning, universities undertake the important mission of exploring new areas of knowledge and illuminating the path forward for humanity. In our capacity as a university, we will promote research that integrates the humanities and sciences and pioneer educational and research fields such as food and agriculture, life science and healthcare, the super-aged society, and a peaceful and safe society.
Until now, Waseda University has conducted education and research into advanced fields such as health and medical technologies (which formed through a fusion of medicine, science and engineering, and life science) as well as cross-disciplinary fields that integrate the humanities and sciences. Going forward, we will expand on this to take on the challenge of pioneering new academic fields that combine the humanities, social science, and natural science.
