Overview

Today, with social activities rapidly expanding and becoming increasingly globalized, finding how to ensure sustainable development of various activities has become a crucial task. To comprehensively solve global-scale problems, the design and practice of systems based on the scientific method and employing advanced technologies are required.

Institute of Integrated Science and Technology at Hosei University will be established cooperatively by the Hosei University Graduate School of Computer and Information Sciences and the Graduate School of Science and Engineering for the purpose of conducting cutting-edge research in their specialized scientific fields while setting up cross-major research fields to solve various problems toward a sustainable global society. IIST will enable students to acquire practical wisdom necessary to tackle global issues, along with the deeply specialized knowledge in their majors.
