KIKUCHI, Yasunori
Professor, Institute for Future Initiatives,
the University of Tokyo
Profile
Social issues such as resources, energy and regional economies require transformative changes, not only in technologies and mechanisms as elements, but also in infrastructure and institutions as systems. This centre will work to enable universities to play a role in implementing this social change.
