The Cabinet Office's "Examples of Integrated Knowledge Utilization" has published a case study from Hokkaido University entitled "Future-oriented Workshop: Utilizing the knowledge of diverse graduate students to achieve decarbonization in Sapporo."
The Cabinet Office believes that as the focus of global research and technological development shifts from "sustainability and resilience" and "ensuring the safety and security of the people" to "a society in which each individual can realize diverse forms of well-being," in order for Japan's science, technology, and innovation to compete with the rest of the world, it is essential to "comprehensively utilize knowledge from all fields to respond appropriately to various social issues," and is promoting "comprehensive knowledge" that brings together diverse "knowledge" and generates "knowledge vitality" that creates new value.
On June 30th, the Cabinet Office published the "Third Case Study of Comprehensive Knowledge Utilization" on its website. In the "① Case Study of Comprehensive Knowledge Utilization in Practice" section, the "Future-Oriented Workshop: Utilizing the Knowledge of Diverse Graduate Students to Achieve Decarbonization in Sapporo," implemented by the Hokkaido University Liberal Arts Deepening Program, was featured.
