Dean, Graduate School of IPSIPS aims to foster individuals capable of problem-solving with extensive knowledge and high insight into the increasingly complex societal issues of today. Through educational and research activities at IPS, students can acquire foundational and specialized knowledge, information literacy and problem identification skills, logical thinking and problem-solving abilities, practical leadership, and international communication skills. Moreover, in the city of Kitakyushu where IPS is located, emerging industries such as automobiles, robotics, semiconductors, and environmental businesses are expanding. Students have the opportunity to participate in joint research with companies and national projects, applying their research findings and experiencing the essence of research and technology development firsthand.Fostering Human Resources for Research and Technology Development in the Graduate School of Information, Production and SystemsGraduate School of Information, Production, and Systems, Waseda University, commonly known as IPS, was established in 2003 in Kyushu, the birthplace of its founder, Shigenobu Okuma. The school's mission is to advance society through the creation of innovative technologies, drawing exceptional students globally, particularly from Asia. Many international and Japanese students are working with high aspirations to maintain "tradition" and research "cutting-edge" technology under the three main missions of Waseda University, stimulating each other without boundaries. We address advanced research issues related to information architecture, production systems, integrated systems, and the ecosystems in which they interconnect.IPS fosters a collaborative environment, bridging industry, academia, and government, where students are encouraged to set ambitious goals and confront challenges. We nurture human resources who can cultivate basic academic skills, think about problems on their own, experience trends in the real world, and embody cutting-edge technologies in the real world. The experience of thinking for oneself and working hard to achieve one's goals will be a very valuable asset in one's future life.More than 3,000 outstanding students have already graduated from IPS and left for the world with the pride of having completed their own research. And now they are active as "global leaders" in industry, education, and research institutions around the world. Looking to the future, IPS will make even greater strides, promoting research on cutting-edge technologies that can be shared with the world and enhancing its presence in Japan and abroad as an education and research center that fosters human resources in demand around the world.01Graduate School of Information, Production and Systems, Waseda UniversityFUJIMURA, ShigeruOriginal, Cutting-Edge Research that Resonates GloballyFounding Ethos Endure through the AgesWaseda's Timeless Traditions and A graduate school where "cutting edge" and "tradition" meet to nurture global leadersCutting EdgeTradition
