In the next 30 years, Japan will accelerate the declining population, declining birthrate and aging population, and fiscal tightness, as well as increasing risks due to global warming, global pandemic, and destabilization of East Asia. From now on, it is expected to encounter incredibly big social changes that we have never experienced in the past and to be difficult to continue the same life as now. In such a situation, universities are expected to play a part in building a new socio-economic system that allows us to continue a safe, secure, healthy and fulfilling life for the future, by utilizing its research ability, educational ability, and industry-academia-government-citizen network to seek a response to the above social changes.

Regarding the response to the above social changes, the existing value system has collapsed, and a new value system is required. In order to search for the new value system, it is also necessary to have various patterns of logical development, complicated understanding and accumulation of things, which are inherent in the humanities and social research of universities. In addition, in order to realize a desirable society, close cooperation between universities, local governments, and economic organizations is indispensable for demonstrations and policy proposals. Through COVID-19 calamity etc., companies are becoming more aware that sustainable growth of the global economy is essential for long-term return on investment, and they are seeking new action guidelines to replace the traditional capitalist perspective.

In this research area, we will create a social value creation type collaboration projects to seek and build the optimum social system for a sustainable society, by utilizing the research ability, educational ability, and industry-academia-government-citizen network of the universities.
