To sustain and grow the affluence currently enjoyed in Japan, the government is expected to take the lead in creating the new key industries of the future while staying abreast of the quickly advancing global industrial structure propelled by rapid changes in the world economies and societies. (That is, to achieve Japan’s Society 5.0 vision.) To that end, university graduate schools in Japan are expected to be a wellspring of the new knowledge genres and technologies needed to spur the creation of new key industries while being an incubator of talented people attuned to the social values attending these innovations. On the other hand, when looking at the situation currently Chair, WISE Program Committee enveloping graduate schools in Japan, we witness a variety of HAMAGUCHI Michinari problems in both the qualitative and qualitative aspects of the educational environment, one being a phenomenon of excellent young people shying away from entering PhD programs. In Japan, this is called “hakasebanare,” roughly translated “PhD flight.” Given this situation, the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) launched the “Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative and Smart Education” (WISE Program) in FY 2018. Taking a lead in generating and applying new knowledge, the WISE Program has as its aim the fostering of excellent doctoral students, who will be the high-level “knowledge professionals” who create the values that will inform the next generation. While taking on CONTENTS the challenge of solving daunting societal issues, these knowledge professionals will endow society with trailblazing innovation. In working to reform Japan’s leading graduate schools, the WISE Message 3 Program expects each university to create doctoral programs that amplify their unique institutional character and strengths and to make program proposals that give expression to their own free ideas.
Doctoral Program for During the period up to FY 2020, 140 applications had been WISE Program World-leading Innovative & Smart Education 4 received from Japanese national, public and private universities, among which a total of 30 programs were selected. The WISE Program Committee monitors the selected graduate school programs List of Programs 6 and in their four and seventh years carries out an assessment of their progress. Through this process the Committee works to support each program and to foster the next generation of excellent professionals Programs selected in FY 2018 12 who will shoulder Japan’s future. The executives of the selected universities take the initiative under the president’s lead in creating a system to implement the WISE Programs selected in FY 2019 42 program, through which an all-out effort is made to reform the university’s entire graduate program. We expect that each program will foster high-level knowledge professionals who personify the WISE objective while overcoming Programs selected in FY 2020 64 unanticipated difficulties in confronting an increased spread of the new coronavirus. We also strongly expect that the results attained through the WISE program will be used to advance university reform throughout Japan.
