<div class="col-md-12 mt-3">
As competition in the global market has intensified, the automotive and electrical appliance industries that once supported Japan’s growth are facing severe difficulties. Even in the fields of electronic devices and material technologies, which have always been particularly strong elements of the Japanese industrial world, there is now a tremendous pressure from nearby Asian countries. Looking towards forthcoming economic recovery, there is a need for science technology to be a new core to support future industry. The area of research focusing on materials with molecular functions is expected to make good use of diverse molecular structures so that a wide range of scientific fields, including green science and life science, could be established and expanded vividly. In order to build a new “smart society”, there must be an advanced functional expression of molecular materials and a systemization of individual functions greatly exceeding the existing concepts.
</div>
<div class="col-md-12">
In this education program, the new area of “molecular system devices” promoting next-generation industry will be built based on Kyushu University’s research results in the scientific fields of molecular accumulation, molecular information and molecular systems. “Electronic devices” and “material technology” are presently the strong areas of Japanese inductry, but the electronics field is facing a state of crisis due to the strong pressure from nearby Asian countries. For that reason, practical application of materials with molecular functionalities, such as organic electronics, is anticipated to become a major economic success as a new field of industry. These science technologies are believed to grow into a major trend of new science-based industry as “molecular system devices”.

<h3>Program Director</h3>

<div class="col-md-10">
The “Development of Global Research Leaders in Molecular Systems for Devices and Establishment of an International Education and Research Center” at Kyushu University was implemented under the collaboration of the Faculty of Engineering, the Faculty of Sciences, and the Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering from 2012 to 2018. In 2019, our program expanded the teaching methods and compassed broader educational areas with the joining of the Faculty of Systems Life Sciences. Since then, our educational program was renamed to "Advanced Graduate da Vinci Course on Molecular Systems for Devices".
The concept of our program is based on the cross-center education system constructed during the “Science for Future Molecular Systems” Global COE Program implemented by Kyushu University for five years between 2007 and 2011. In addition, our program has continuously received strong support from world-leading corporations, autonomous bodies and related research institutions. From 2020, our program exercises the world’s first open science curriculum that incorporates digital transformation to create research ideas based on medical data. Moreover, we are constructing an educational system that is both international and directly connected to industry-academia cooperation by further strengthening our ties with overseas research and educational institutions such as the Kyushu University California Office; Stanford University; University of California, Berkeley; University of California, Los Angeles; Yonsei University; Cambridge University; and imec.
Our educational program is a new integrated 5-year program for challenging doctoral education. We will develop personnel who, together with the ability to execute research based on broad scientific knowledge and high level of English language ability suitable for international connection, have the ability to communicate based on their knowledge of different cultures and races as well as the management ability for the promotion of projects with an all-around vision. Our goal is to nurture science and technology leaders who are strong, enthusiastic and energetic. We firmly expect students graduating from this program will go on to become truly top-class leaders deserving of the respect from others in the R&D environments, including the private sector corporations.

<b>PUSHING FORWARD THE NEXT GENERATION OF INDUSTRY WITH CUTTING-EDGE MOLECULAR MATERIALS, AND THE NECESSITY OF SUPER LEADERS</b>
<p>This education program aims to train super leaders who will be able to work internationally with a pioneering spirit towards the research and development as well as the ability to see bigger picture, while boosting the scientific potential of researchers particularly in the field of “molecular system devices”. Super leaders will be trained in integrated research and development from basic research through practical application by acquiring the knowledge of “cutting-edge molecular system devices”, “enthusiasm and expressive ability in relation to research”, “research management ability” and “international outlook”.</p>
<b>EDUCATION PROGRAM BY INDUSTRY-GOVERNMENT-ACADEMIA COORDINATED STAFF</b>
<p>In this education program, students’ basic strengths are gradually being fostered, and they will acquire expertise in multiple areas based on challenging, advanced research activities taught by teaching staff from the university as well as from domestic and overseas private corporations. As a special education program, graduate students from different laboratories are split into small groups, and special offices where students can freely discuss their work have been prepared. These educational research activities providing first-hand experience of synergy through communication are contributing to the development of individuality and character as students experience the connection between producing research results and being able to “imagine through discussions”, “think outside-the-box”, “make definite decisions”, and “have a mindset that does not easily give up”. Also available are domestic internships at cooperating corporations and international collaborative research with overseas research institutions, providing students with a mastery of western research techniques. Furthermore, the open innovation laboratory at Fukuoka industry-academia Symphonicity (FiaS), located at the Ito Campus Science Park adjacent to the Ito Campus, is often used for theme proposals from small groups with a view to developing practical applications (Group Research Proposal: GRP), encouraging researchers brought together from different fields to actualize new research development through in-depth discussions, developing practical research capabilities as workers with ready potential at private corporations and producing a mentality geared towards strategic research. This program is operated in cooperation with the Robert T. Huang Entrepreneurship Center of Kyushu University (QREC)/The Kyushu University Business School (QBS), and students will acquire basic knowledge of IP rights, management and accounting necessary, as well as management theory and leadership theory necessary for becoming a research and development leader. Through study at the Kyushu University Ito Campus, research activities at overseas research institutions, and study at Ito Science Park, we aim to cultivate top-class leaders capable of seeing research and development from the perspectives of basic science, international activity, and the industrial world. Students, a new type of graduate school education has begun. This program will help you to realize your wonderful R&D potential, give you the practical research ability necessary for pioneering new areas of learning, and enable you to have strategic and developmental ability to make great contributions to the society through the an education based on industry-academia cooperation. You can build a great future with your burning enthusiasm. Why not take a leap into his new graduate school course and aim to become a world-leading researcher of molecular system devices ?</p>
